Grudem inevitably has his bias, but he argues well and does a good job of laying out and addressing other schools of thought. The whole thing is very well structured and each chapter could be treated as a devotional, as they are accompanied by study questions, a memory passage, and suggested further reading. If I'm to nitpick, I think more attention could have been given to the topics surrounding eschatology, but if you want a comprehensive, easy-to-read overview of the main branches of theology as suggested by the Christian bible, then it's hard to go wrong. ( ) This is my go-to source for my questions about the doctrine and teachings in the Bible. Wayne Grudem writes in an easy to understand style and, I think, does a very balanced approach on controversial issues. I have other systematic theology books, but rarely pull them off the self in favor of this one. I've recommended this book in a general discussion of "Best Books in Systematic Theology": http://douggeivett.wordpress.com/2009/12/07/best-books-in-systematic-theology/ no reviews | add a review
