This book has been one of my favorites for so many years and has greatly edified me. I am so thankful for the second edition. Wayne Grudem's wisdom and humility is so admirable. Praise God for such faithful men of God.
I’m teaching from the first edition now and really look forward to the update. It’s a blessing to see Dr. Grissom staying faithful to God through the years, and I’m so grateful for the help he’s been to me understanding God’s word.
This book is truly a treasury of revelations for me personally. It helps me a lot to grow in my faith and to understand the Body of Christ on a much deeper level. Thank you so much Wayne Grudem! May God will bless you and your family and everyone who is studying your book. See you all in heaven 🙂
Sir, you are so correct. As a layperson, I have purchased so many theological books to study. When I get them home, they are so unreadable that I can't get through the first chapter. It seems they are written by theologians for theologians. Some authors are readable, but many are not. I saw your Systematic Theology in the bookstore today, and it was very readable. I am going to order it and the workbook on line. Thanks for writing in English everyone can understand.
I have promoted so many copies of Wayne's book and has been an enormous blessing to thousands worldwide and also greatly benefited New Frontiers family of churches, I hope to get this second edition, OM india is not planning on printing this second edition, they had printed the first edition which I still promote, don't have this one though.
I have your Systematic Theology and waiting on a new one from Adam Harwood definitely a topic I I am highly interested in and I am trying to learn as much as possible
I am Reform/Covenant. The idea that at 11:59 PM, December 31, 399CE all gifts stopped fails to work. However, to make the absence/presence of a particular gift as a test of salvation is completely false. Interesting book! I originally was raise Christian Science. Long journey to being reform federal!!!
Read the book "Abraham's Four Seeds" by John G. Reisinger if you want to understand the problems with both Reformed Covenant Theology and modern Dispensational Theology. They both ignore or pervert the New Covenant fulfilled by the blood of Christ at Calvary. New Covenant Whole Gospel: Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him. He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14. Awaken Church to this truth. Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis? Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart. Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36) Watch the UA-cam video “The New Covenant” by Bob George.
I've listened to the entire series of his original systematic theology lectures (given in his church). I haven't listened to him for years and come across this video. He seems to have changed a lot. His thinking seemed slow, speech seemed slurred and monotone. Did he have a disease or something? Or injured by the vaccine injection?
I also have listened to all of those same lectures. I believe he mentions an illness he's struggling with in the introduction to his Christian Ethics book, but don't remember what the issue is.
I have the first edition and got to this video when I went to purchase a copy for a new Christian. It is wonderful with one flaw I have found so far, and it's funny that Dr. Grudem erred even further for the second edition, it seems based on this video. In the first edition, the inerrancy of scripture is shortly followed by discussion of creation where the Bible is interpreted through a lens of science, instead of the other way around. The bible is wholly a flat earth book and there are many supporting scriptures to this fact. Sadly, so many Christians read God's word through the lens of the world instead of seeing the world through the lens of God's word. It's backwards and it leads to all kinds of problems. Satan wants to make God seem so little and far off that He is insignificant, an afterthought in our lives. How different it would be if all Christians believed the world to be constructed as scripture describes with God VERY PRESENT, sitting on his throne literally right above the circle of the earth with heaven on top of the firmament... This reality brings God to the forefront of our minds daily.
what if... universe is 200 billion years old, but Earth was added later? that is not too hard for omnipotent God. and what is time? we think that we have somekind of a perception of time, but God does not live in time nor does He limit Himself with time.
I did not know Grudem has so much sympathy for people of differing doctrinal perspectives but had so little sympathy for the literal young earth Creationism. Now I know I won't be buying his book or attending his school. Interesting how influential Hugh Ross and the Discovery Institute has been on Christians, esp those with little to no background study of biological science. Anyone know what his progressive creationist theology looks like and can reply here with a video or other link?
so this guy renowned as he is is not a believer in Gen1-3...you cannot pick and choose what you believe in the bible ....the breathed word of God...Your either all in or all out....pity...was gonna buy
WG got the number wrong, too. 4.6 billion is the official number. Why espouse something you don't even know -- something that he has seen so much mounting evidence of but cant even quote the official age?
This is a secondary issue. Determining how old the earth is NOT a primary doctrine to the Christian faith and salvation. I’m a Christian who takes on the new earth position but I will not disregard Dr. Grudem’s work or see him any different as a brother in Christ. Paul and Peter had indifferences on secondary issues but both held the same belief and faith to the primary doctrines of gospel of Christ and the person of Christ.
@@mimitovar7335 I disagree. Genesis is the foundation of the bible and if you pick and choose what parts of it to base your weltanshauung on, then your house is shaky and will fall when tested. The bible CLEARLY says the world was created in 6 days and then provides a precise year count via geneology for the age of the world, thus it is so. Believe it all as written or none, but by picking and choosing what parts of God's special revelation you believe, you build your own god, not THE God.
ALL ACCORDING TO HIS GOSPEL,..HIS OPINION, HIS IDEA'S OF WHAT YOU SHOULD THINK, ANS APPLY....AND NOT THE STANDARD OF REVELATION AND IN-SPIRIT-ATION....UNCTION...BE LEAD BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOUR COMFORTER, LEADER, & MINISTER ACCORDING TO ELOHIM'S WILL, AND GRACE, HIS MERCY...THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO SEARCHES THE DEEP THINGS OF ABBA, TA-TE...Abba Shuli hu'melecj ha'Olam...ha'Kadosh Baruch hu ..Shema Yisrael,...Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad, in truth & Spirit...be lead by the Spirit, and all those things shall be added unto you, according to HIS, Will and Grace..🛐

I just got my 2nd Edition yesterday.. Thank you Sir.. Wayne Grudem..
Dr WAYNE !! UNE VERSION EN FRANÇAIS 🙏🏽 l'Église francophone en a tellement besoin ! Que Dieu vous bénisse !

Thank you Jesus for raising this man of God to bless the world.. we are waiting to buy it.
I recieved mine from CBD and couldn’t wait to get it and start studying. I’m enjoying it very much!
I wanted to put face to name as we use the book a lot in seminary. It is amazing how exhausting and representative of various positions.
This book is truly a treasury of revelations for me personally. It helps me a lot to grow in my faith and to understand the Body of Christ on a much deeper level. Thank you so much Wayne Grudem! May God will bless you and your family and everyone who is studying your book. See you all in heaven 🙂
Its one of the best systematic theology books you can get.

I would love to read this book! I just preordered it on Amazon.
Same here, it looks like it'll be invaluable.
Mail it back and get a refund

I wonder if the Video Lectures are different because there’s a first edition and a second edition. Does anyone know if the videos are different?
How do billions of years fit biblically though?

Read some of his stuff, he’s a Calvinist and post modern, ehhhh not for me.
