Considered one of the classics on Systematic Theology, the book covers all the basics on the reality of God, the atonement of Christ and the final state of man and the last things. Anyone who wishes to study theology would be wise to read this book as many in the Reformed tradition hold that it is a landmark in its field. It is arguably the most important twentieth century compendium of Reformed Theology. 'The work seemed particularly important to me', writes the author, 'in view of the widespread doctrinal indifference of the present day, of the resulting superficiality and confusion in the minds of many professing Christians, of the insidious errors that are zealously propagated even from the pulpits, and of the alarming increase of all kinds of sects.
Louis Berkhof Bücher
Louis Berkhof war ein reformierter Theologe, dessen Werk sich durch eine tiefe Auseinandersetzung mit der reformierten Tradition auszeichnet. Er baute auf dem Erbe von Johannes Calvin auf und entwickelte die Erkenntnisse niederländischer Theologen wie Abraham Kuyper und Herman Bavinck weiter. Seine systematischen theologischen Schriften konzentrieren sich auf eine sorgfältige Untersuchung christlicher Lehren und bieten eine umfassende Sicht auf den Glauben. Berkhofs Ansatz wird für seine Klarheit, Konsequenz und feste Verankerung im biblischen und reformierten Erbe geschätzt.

Berkhof's Summary of Christian Doctrine is a very concise version of his 1932 magnum opus, Systematic Theology. Berkhof's theological views do not differ significantly from that of earlier Reformed theologians such as Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck, but his skilled summaries have proven very useful for teaching and instruction, particularly to young people and those beginning a deeper study of the Reformed tradition. This volume offers a simpler and briefer presentation of Christian doctrine geared especially to high school students. Technical terms and detailed explanations have been avoided, and important Scripture passages are printed in full.
