Second edition. Now a two-volume set. A clear, systematic study and exposition of Reformed theology written by one who held the Chair of Dogmatics for some forty years at a Reformed seminary. Divided into the six generally accepted branches of theology (theology, anthropology, Christology, soteriology, ecclesiology, and eschatology), this profound, scholarly work is logical, scripturally sound, and faithful to the Reformed creeds and traditions.
“… those who are eager to refresh and enrich their knowledge of the Reformed faith will do well to give preference to this volume” (The Banner).
“At a time when flighty faddism threatens to destroy true theology, it is good to have some more solid works. Persevering and judicious reading of this work will probably contribute more to genuine theological education than skimming through the latest pseudo-doctrinal ‘thrillers’” (Christianity Today).
“This is a solid work representing the mature thought of a thorough-going Reformed theologian. Replete with Scriptural documentation, Hoeksema’s work goes beyond simply proof-texting in many cases to enhance its value with exegetical discussion of key doctrinal passages” (The King’s Business).

“Herman Hoeksema was truly blessed with a mind for theology and showed a profound knowledge all of the works of theologians around throughout his life. From going through this carefully, its clear that Hoeksema has read around the entire spectrum of theological topics, devoting his entire life to the knowledge of the truth in God’s Word. Out of all the systematic theologies I’ve read, I would definitely give this work a 10 out of 10!” – S. Wales
