Featured What are the best Baptist Systematic Theologies?

A. H. Strong

 

Dagg was a Baptist; he was a professor and then president of Mercer University sometime in the mid-1800s.

 

Anyone know anything about Rolland McCune's 3 volume systematic theology, A Systematic Theology of Biblical Christianity? Just ran across it while searching. It appears he may be a professor at Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary.

 

Don't forget Dagg's Elements of Moral Science!

From its preface:

"In the 'Manual of Theology,' recently published, the externals of religion are discussed only so far as they relate to ceremonies and church order. To render that work a complete system of divinity, a supplement is needed on Christian Morals...."

 

Yeshau1, I found this recommendation of McCune's work at Maranatha Baptist Seminary. Since I don't know the seminary, it's not especially meaningful, but probably accurate.

 

I read one of mccunes books and he is quite detailed. Sometimes repetitive though.

 

So, does anyone have an opinion on Chafer?

Preferably someone who has read his, of course.

 

Are systematic theologies the standard type of books seminaries use?

isn't Grudem a reformed baptist though

 

Grudem's been all over the place: charismatic/Reformed Church in America, Orthodox Presbyterian, Baptist General Conference, Southern Baptist, The Vineyard, but now attends some sort of "non-denominational" church.

 

It seems that way, but usually not a multi-volume monster sized one.

 

Robert Duncan Culver's Systematic Theology has got to be one of the best. I value it very much for his scholarship, comprehensiveness and warmth.

 

The Institute for Reformed Baptist Studies uses Berkhof's (which is available for free online) and Bavinck's if you want a multi volume set

 

I saw a syllabus from RTS listing Berkhof, but it was from 2014, iirc, and I wasn;t sure if it was up to date.

 

Berkof is always up to date
