Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine

What can I say about this book... I believe Wayne's book will become one of the most significant books of the century. Wayne is a "warmly reformed" theologian, a five point Calvinist who deeply believes that people are called to respond to the gospel call, a reformed theologican who believes in the work of the Spirit. He is a very unusual person.
Unlike many other texts, Wayne is deeply biblical. His theological understanding comes from the text, and the verses are quoted to prove it. I watched by 18 year old son sit with Wayne's book and his Bible open, double checking all of Wayne's verses. Tyler learned deeply from Wayne, for which I am grateful.
The book is beautifully written for all to read. I cannot recommend this book too highly. It is a constant, almost daily, resource for me. It does come in an abridged form called "Bible Doctrine," but I would get the whole thing.
