A New Systematic Theology of the Christian Faith by Robert L. Reymond
As I recall I'm writing this review after almost a year of having read it , his discussion isn't as broad as Berkhof's is. For instance, Berkhof has a discussion devoted to A great contemporary Reformed systematic theology. For instance, Berkhof has a discussion devoted to angels their creation, fall, etc in his section on "The Works of God.
Reymond is a follow of the Christian philosopher Gordon H. Clark and it shows, especially in his discussion of the traditional proofs and paradox in Christian theology. Oct 18, G Walker rated it liked it Shelves: A much needed update to mainstream reformed systematics. Compared to Berkhof, this is a breath of fresh air. While Reymond's exegesis falls prey to his tradition's myopic, pre-determined "meanings", at least he is engaging the actual text s of Scripture, which is more than I can say for most.
That said, in other places he relies too heavily on the Westminster standards as "proofs". In he end too Clarkian for me, but I still think that this is a noble and noteworthy text. I wish Good solid work. For a contemporary systematic theology, this is probably one of the more "sane" when compared to the likes of Grudem or Horton.

May 26, Simon rated it really liked it. This is the first systematic theology that I've read cover to cover. Grudem might have been a better place to have started as his systematic theology seems easier to read. While not agreeing with some secondary issues, I found this book very helpful overall. Reymond writes from a reformed perspective so there are lots of quotations from the Westminster Confession and theologians in the reformed line.

His eschatology is alright I'm not Reformed was at one time. I just read this to see if it would change my mind and read it just because. I'm still unconvinced of the Reformed theology and Arminian as well and favor an Eastern Orthodox approach. For Reformed, I guess it is done well.
I can't personally recommend it. I'll probably do a small critique later on about this one as I was scribbling notes all throughout this clunker. Reymond rest in peace.

It is the best modern systematic theology out there. It is easy to read, but it is not a light weight.
It takes a very pastoral approach to issues and is one I still use often and refer to in my ministry. Nelson's Dictionary of Christianity: The Biographical Works of C. The Academic Works of C. The Story of John G. Reymond has done what many have thought was impossible.

He has developed a new Reformed systematic theology of the Christian faith that can and does rival Louis Berkhof's classic Systematic Theology in terms of depth and breadth of information, and in terms of its strong reliance on the Bible and the foundations of the Reformed faith. Reymond also set out to supplement Berkhof's monumental accomplishment with information from further sources, and to create a new, viable textbook for teaching Reformed systematic theology. By all accounts, Reymond has succeeded. A New Systematic Theology of the Christian Faith is a passionate, well-written defense of the historical faith of the Reformed church, as well as a cogent and easily understood look at the issues that shaped and are shaping Christianity.
And while Reymond is strongly Reformed, he is not afraid to go against traditional Reformed teaching where he feels it contradicts what the Bible clearly says. The Bible is, and always should be, the final authority on all theological matters, according to Reymond, and we must be willing to let it transform us instead of conforming it to our theology or philosophy. Reymond examines all the major theological issues. The first part of his theology looks at the authority and inspiration of the Bible.
Part two looks at the attributes of God and God's relationship with humanity.
