 Essential to any theological library July 8, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Dr. Ryrie is clear and concise in his explanation of theology and doctrine. I have used this book many times in conjunction with my classes at Philadelphia Biblical University and have always found it to be understandable and to the point. Dr. Ryrie has an amazing grasp of Scripture and brings it to bear in his Basic Theology. No library is complete without it.
 A Good Theological Book To Start With November 18, 2006

Maybe I am just biased because I have 3 Ryrie Study Bibles and he lectured at the Bible college I attended but I do believe Dr. Charles Ryrie did a very good job on this book.
This book is easy to read, easy to understand, concise, and covers a wide selection of topics as well as it touches every point of Systematic Theology.
For the beginner theologian, I would say Charles Ryrie does a great job explaining some of the different and sometimes difficult aspects of Christian Theology others may be questioning. It doesn't go extremely indepth but enough for you to help others understand their questions.
If you are looking for a more indepth explanation of theology do what other reviewers have suggested and that is to purchase the 4 volume set of Dr. Geisler's Systematic Theology.
If you have had no training in Systematic Theology this book would be a good start for you.
If you want to read a theology book that is easy to read, not boring, not too difficult, and gets to the point, then this book is the one for you to start with.
This book is a great tool to own, to use for your more indepth Bible Studies, and you won't be disappointed. And I recommend it for those who are beginner theologians.

I purchased this book while at Bob Jones University. It covers a wide selection of topics that are used all the time. I have continualy come to this for explaining different aspects of Christian Theology to others. This book covers topics such as: The Bible being the Word of God, Angels, Satan, Demons, Sin, Jesus, Salvation, The Holy Spirit and much more. It goes into depth on many interesting subjects that both believer and non-believers have alike such as "problematic passages".
This book is a library itself, containing many references of scripture to back it's content up. This is a great tool to own.

Ryrie did a very good job on this book. It hits all the main points of Systematic Theology. It doesnt go extremely indept though, but since I have had no training in Systematic Theology it has been a good start for me.

Excellent corollary text written in an easy to understand, concise, but expansive style. Another must-have for serious students of the good Word. Short chapters allow for easy self-study.
Highly recommended for beginner theologians.
