[Kevin]

Hey,

Just wondering who do y'all like for systematic theology?

Any stong dislikes? Why?

How large of a place should systematic theology take in ones library?

Thanks.

I am most inclined to recommend:

John Calvin, Institutes
William Ames, Marrow of Theology
R.L. Dabney, Systematic Theology
Louis Berkhof, Systematic Theology
Charles Hodge, Systematic Theology
John Brown (Haddington), Systematic Theology
Francis Turretin, Institutes of Elenctic Theology
William Cunningham, Historical Theology
Wilhelmus a Brakel, The Christian's Reasonable Service
Thomas Watson, A Body of Divinity
James Ussher, A Body of Divinity
Robert Shaw, An Exposition of Westminster Confession of Faith

Berkhof is good.

This Fall the Founders Study Center will be using Robert Redmond book, which has had favorable reviews here. I'm thinking about taking the course at FSC this fall.
