The Assurance of Faith

Systematic Theology

Excerpt from Biblical Archaeology The little book on Biblical Archaeology now offered to the public is a child of necessity. When the author began to teach this branch of study in the class-room, be cast about for a suitable textbook of sufficiently small compass, but failed to find one, the only book that would probably have served the purpose being out of print. Therefore he felt constrained to write a little treatise on the subject himself. The product of his labors is not the fruit of original re search, but is based on the larger works of George Adam Smith, C. F. Keil, J. Th. De Visser, J. Benzinger e. A. Hastings Dictionary of the Bible too has been consulted frequently. Technical Hebrew and Greek terms were avoided as much as possible to make the work acceptable to general Bible classes as well as to theologians. Maps and illustrations, however desirable in a book of this kind, were also left out, since they would make it too expensive. Moreover for the sake of brevity all arguments on disputed points were omitted, which opens up a fine opportunity for the teacher.

Biblical Archaeology (Classic Reprint)

The Historical Volume of what was originally called Reformed Dogmatics now appears with a new title, namely, History of Christian Doctrines. Works on the gradual development of theological truth in the Church of Jesus Christ usually appear alongside of those which deal with the systematic reproduction of it, and thus stand out as separate works. It was thought best to follow this practice, since this will stress the fact that, after all, the history of the development of Christian thought in the Church is a separate study.

The History of Christian Doctrines

This new printing of Louis Berkhof's classic Systematic Theology represents a publishing landmark. For the first time in its long and acclaimed history, Berkhof's monumental treatment of the doctrines of the Reformed faith is now available together in one volume with Introduction to the Study of Systematic Theology, Berkhof's formal prolegomenon to his theology. Meant to be read together with Systematic Theology, the Introduction includes Berkhof's discussions of the nature and character of dogmatics, the methods and history of theological system, and the principia, or foundations, of theology - Scripture and God. This edition also includes a new preface by Richard A. Muller that explains both the publishing history and the relation and importance of the Introduction to the rest of Berkhof's text. Written in a concise and compact style and organized in a manner ideal for detailed study, Systematic Theology covers the full range of theology in traditional systematic fashion - examining, in order, the doctrines of God, anthropology, Christology, soteriology, ecclesiology, and eschatology. The work also includes an extensive bibliography and full indexes to the authors, subjects, and Scriptures referenced in the text. Revised and enlarged throughout his lifetime until it reached its present final form, Systematic Theology not only stands as Berkhof's magnum opus but also is widely considered to be the most important twentieth-century compendium of Reformed theology.

La Expiación Vicaria a través de Cristo es obra del renombrado teólogo reformado Louis Berkhof. En este tratado, Berkhof se propone a defender la teoría de la sustitución penal de la expiación y de mostrar su arraigo particular en el sistema doctrinal reformado. Se examinan las objeciones a la doctrina histórica de la expiación y se demuestra la validez de este entendimiento sobre los fundamentos bíblicos y teológicos. Con este volumen ampliamos nuestra colección de estudios de dogmática reformada con un tratado directo y contundente de la doctrina de la expiación escrito por la mano de uno de los teólogos reformados más confiables de los últimos cien años. La Expiación Vicaria a través de Cristo sin duda llegará a ser lectura obligatoria para todo estudiante de la dogmática reformada quien desea entender la formulación reformada de la doctrina de la expiación.
