{"product_id":"reformed-systematic-theology-volume-1-revelation-and-god","title":"Reformed Systematic Theology, Volume 1: Revelation and God","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first volume in the Reformed Systematic Theology set of four projected volumes that draws on the historical theology of Reformed tradition, exploring the first two of eight central points of systematic theology—the doctrines of revelation and the character of God—with an accessible and comprehensive approach that is biblical, doctrinal, experiential, and practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"We believe that the experiential application of doctrine is paramount for doing good systematic theology. Systematic Theology should minister to the whole person,\" write Beeke and Smalley. \"We hope that this work will help prepare God's servants to nurture spiritual knowledge and saving faith in God's people according to the riches of Christ. We aim not only to educate you as the reader, but also to edify you and to equip you to tell others the wonders of our God.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“‘Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!’ This expression of praise from Paul’s great doxology is a fitting response to reading this wonderful work of doctrine and devotion. Though the Reformed faith is often caricatured as merely intellectual, this work demonstrates that Reformed theology is also profoundly experiential, as no chapter fails to move from theology to doxology. This resource will instruct the mind and inflame the heart.”\u003cbr\u003e—John MacArthur, Pastor, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California; President, The Master’s University and Seminary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Already the most prolific Reformed author of his generation, Joel Beeke (helped by his theological Barnabas, Paul Smalley) now harvests the fruit of a lifetime of study, reflection, teaching, and writing in this impressive \u003cem\u003emagnum opus\u003c\/em\u003e. Throughout the centuries, theologians have debated whether systematic theology is an intellectual or practical discipline. \u003cem\u003eReformed Systematic Theology\u003c\/em\u003e rightly treats it as both, for the Great Theologian of the church underlined that we cannot love the Lord our God with our mind unless we also love him with heart, soul, and strength. Thus, in these pages, doctrine leads to doxology and also to further enquiry. Each locus is expounded biblically, is understood ‘together with all the saints,’ and leads to practical implications and applications, with psalms, hymns of praise, and probing questions for further reflection. This is catechesis at its best, in the great tradition of Augustine, Anselm, and Calvin, where ‘faith seeks understanding’ and leads to worship and obedience. Here is a major contribution to the education of theological students, but also a work for preachers to have close by as a constant go-to resource, and indeed for every Christian family to own and frequently consult. While today it may seem that ‘of the making of systematic theologies there is no end,’ \u003cem\u003eReformed Systematic Theology\u003c\/em\u003e makes a distinctive, deeply engaging, and welcome contribution and deserves a place of honor. Many will be grateful to Joel Beeke and Paul Smalley for giving this immensely valuable gift to the twenty-first-century church.”\u003cbr\u003e—Sinclair B.
