There are several threads here from over the years already devoted to "the best systematic theology." Well, I think this will be a fun collaborative experiment in that same vein. I have seen very good reviews of the Contours of Christian Theology collection. If you aren't familiar with it, it is a multi-volume systematic theology in which every loci is handled in a single volume by a different scholar. Well, I am wondering what people's thoughts here would be regarding assembling your own systematic theology series in this manner (in which every loci is a separate volume and probably separate author), but with works already written, whether old or new. So, for example, we would see something like this (just off the top of my head):
1. Prolegomena: Philosophy of Revelation (Herman Bavinck)
2. Theology Proper: The Nature and Attributes of God (Stephen Charnock)
3. Anthropology: Human Nature in Its Fourfold State (Thomas Boston)
4. Christology: The Person of Christ (Donald Macleod); The Work of Christ (Robert Letham)
5: Soteriology: Redemption Accomplished and Applied (John Murray)
6. Ecclesiology: The Church of Christ (James Bannerman)
7: Eschatology: The Promise of the Future (Cornelis Venema)
8. Ethics: The Ten Commandments (Thomas Watson)
What would you assemble together to be your "perfect" systematic theology series?
