Systematic Theology
Theology – Doctrine by
Louis Berkhof
Systematic theology is a discipline that formulates an organized and coherent explanation of Christian doctrines. It discusses biblical concepts about God’s nature and relation with His creations.
After two pastorates, Louis Berkhof taught as a professor in Calvin Seminary for 38 years. He emphasized that there is no way from man to God, but only from God to man. He also reiterated that God is always the subject and never an object. This book about systematic theology is a compilation of his earlier works. It is being used as a textbook in theological seminaries worldwide. Berkhof is a prolific writer who presented his theology in a clear, lively, and relatively comprehensible style that even an ordinary layman can understand. So let’s dig into this treasury which is labeled as Professor Berkhof’s most important work.
