{"product_id":"reformed-systematic-theology-volume-2-man-and-christ-2","title":"Reformed Systematic Theology, Volume 2: Man and Christ","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe aim of systematic theology is to engage not only the head but also the heart and hands. Only recently has the church compartmentalized these aspects of life—separating the academic discipline of theology from the spiritual disciplines of faith and obedience. This multi-volume work brings together rigorous historical and theological scholarship with spiritual disciplines and practical insights—characterized by a simple, accessible, comprehensive, Reformed, and experiential approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this volume, Joel R. Beeke and Paul M. Smalley shift from the doctrine of God (theology proper) to the doctrine of humanity (anthropology) and the doctrine of Christ (Christology). This extensive reformed theology explores the Bible’s teaching about who we are and why we were created, as well as who Jesus is and why his divinity is essential to the Christian faith.\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.” \u003cbr\u003e—John MacArthur, Pastor, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California; Chancellor Emeritus, The Master’s University and Seminary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“In volume 2 of \u003cem\u003eReformed Systematic Theology\u003c\/em\u003e, Joel Beeke and his theological Barnabas, Paul Smalley, continue their massive exposition of Christian doctrine. Like the first volume, it is marked by constant use of Scripture coupled with references to the great theologians, and is written for all of the people of God in language that is more pastoral than metaphysical. This second volume covers the vital areas of anthropology and Christology, and continues in the style of a true ‘church dogmatics’ reminiscent of the work of the great pastor-theologians of the church. A model of clarity, it will promote doxology, maturity, and further inquiry. Here is catechesis at its best, instructing the student of theology, providing pastors with a sermon-enriching manual, and giving growing Christians a resource book that will both inform and nourish them, as well as provide endless theological enjoyment!” \u003cbr\u003e—Sinclair B. Ferguson, Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary; Teaching Fellow, Ligonier Ministries\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The scholarship and devotion of this volume are truly impressive and must reflect the result of many years of rigorous study and careful teaching of the themes pursued. I have not read a systematic theology that impressed me to the same extent. This is a work that not only instructs but also speaks to the heart. It is a presentation of orthodox Reformed theology that reflects the Puritan tradition, but also presents that tradition in the context of the flow of Christian theology from the Bible through the church fathers and the medieval expositors, the Reformation challenges, and on to the contemporary scene.” \u003cbr\u003e—Robert W.

This is how systematic theology should be done—by having in mind both the pastor in the pulpit and the people in the pews. The authors are to be commended for giving us this top-rate, scholarly-yet-accessible, God-honoring volume.” \u003cbr\u003e—Rob Ventura, Pastor, Grace Community Baptist Church, North Providence, Rhode Island; coauthor, \u003cem\u003eA Portrait of Paul\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSpiritual Warfare\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“This volume continues the heart-warming approach of volume 1. I particularly admire the authors’ insightful and scrupulously fair exposition of positions with which they disagree. Their work offers a pretty comprehensive approach to different readings throughout the history of the subjects dealt with.” \u003cbr\u003e—Jonathan F.

No contemporary systematic theology will bring the reader to a greater understanding of how theology blossoms into doxology than this one.” \u003cbr\u003e—Matthew Barrett, Associate Professor of Christian Theology, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; Executive Editor, Credo Magazine; editor, \u003cem\u003eReformation Theology\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eReformed Systematic Theology\u003c\/em\u003e is the ripe fruit of Joel Beeke’s lifelong engagement as a preacher and as a teacher of preachers. This is not a systematic theology written by an ivory-tower theologian, but rather by a seasoned preacher for whom the doctrines he expounds have become, by the grace of God, an experiential reality.” \u003cbr\u003e—Bartel Elshout, Pastor, Heritage Reformed Congregation, Hull, Iowa; translator, \u003cem\u003eThe Christian’s Reasonable Service\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Christian’s Only Comfort in Life and Death\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Beeke and Smalley have written a work useful to the church at large that teaches Christians what they should believe and how they should love, but they have not sacrificed academic rigor to achieve these goals.” \u003cbr\u003e—J.
