    I passed on my volumes of Geisler to the teaching pastor because I didn't use them as much as I do others - it freed up a bit of space on my shelf for other treasured volumes.

    With four thick volumes, Geisler covers a lot of ground.
    He goes over various historical and theological aspects of a topic quite well - you'll probably find your view well represented even if it isn't "his view".

    He also tends to answer questions following a topic that others don't bring up.

    Systematic theology texts tend to frustrate me more than help me - they are like looking in an encyclopedia - good for general reference but not so good for specific details.

    Are you sure you do not mean Wayne Grudem's systematic theology? Grudem is a Monergist. Geisler is not.

    Grudem's book is excellent. I would say that Geisler is inconsistently monergistic. I've read other books of his. I was asking about Geisler's ST...I have never read through it.
