Interesting thing about the Millard Erickson Christian Theology ...

He has a condensed version of the text designed for undergraduate-level and personal study. My OT professor in college affectionately referred to it as "Millard Lite." I of course now refer to the unabridged text as "Millard Genuine Draft."

Baptist Theologian Augustus H. Strong, President of Rochester Theological Seminary from 1872–1912 wrote his "Systematic Theology" during his tenure there. (1886, Rochester, New York: E.R. Andrews.)

Dr. Strong received his B.A. from Yale, his B.Div. from Rochester and his Doctorate from the University of Erlangen, Germany.

Strong's was the primary textbook at the seminary I initially attended and was the primary textbook at the seminary I taught at.

There are a few things to be aware of (as with all such books) such as his ethical monism, his leaning toward theistic evolution, and a form of inclusivism he seems to have accepted. But all in all the rest is the very best of the very best.

He is far more difficult to read than Erickson but far deeper.

I have it as well as his seminary text. He is not Reformed.

John Dagg's Manual of Theology...Is it good?
Click to expand...
I like John Leadley Dagg's writings. He also has a treatise on Church Order that is printed separately from Manual of Theology, and (I think) sometimes called Manual of Theology, Part II.

I think W. T. Conner, a Southern Baptist at Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, wrote a systematic theology. I don't have it and don't know that for sure.
