Doctrine of God

[Notthemama1984]

What are some good books that deal with Theology Proper? I have read good chunks of Bavinck and Frame, but am curious what others recommend.

Perhaps not exactly what you are looking for, but Thomas Boston's Commentary on the Shorter Catechism comes to mind. Two large volumes. Regrettably it is not online, but check out addall.com for sets as cheap as $42.

 

[Notthemama1984]

It doesn't have to be a "doctrine of God" book per se. Just something that deals with the doctrine beyond just passing.

I would recommend Charles Hodge volume 1 of his Systematic Theology.

Systematic Theology - Volume I | Christian Classics Ethereal Library

 

[Irish Presbyterian]

'The Doctrine of God', Gerald Bray
'The Providence of God', Paul Helm

Both the above are in the 'Contours of Christian Theology' series.

'Concise Reformed Dogmatics', J.Van Genderen and W.H.Velma is excellent on theology proper as well.

 

[MMasztal]

Try Turretin's 3 volume Institutes of Elenctic Theology. It's a good systemic theology with attention paid to some of the issues of the day which aren't all that different from what we see now.

 

[Don Kistler]

Stephen Charnock's "The Existence and Attributes of God"

 

[Theogenes]

For a quick read, A.W.Pink's The Attributes of God.

 

[Paul Trask]

Calvins Institutes of the Christian Religion, The Coming of the Kingdom by Ridderbos, Biblical Theology by Geerhardus Vos, Theology of the New Testament by George Ladd,
and A Body of Divinity by Thomas Watson.
