Receive Systematic Theology (2 Volume Set) Written By Morton H. Smith E-Text

solid, Southern Presbyterian text, Smith is the legitimate heir to the Southern Presbyterians Dabney, Thornwell, Girardeau, Palmer and the likes, I personally would take this text any day over Berkhof, I wish that this text was published by a more reputable publisher in that it would afford it the opportunity for wider circulation and in turn a wider readership, but in the end, it is indeed too Thornwellian.
Dr. Smith is a man whom I have met on several occasion and had conversation with in which he and I "vehemently" disagreed, but he has always been a gentleman, kind and gentle.
I wish that some of his colleagues and his theological heirs at GPTS had the grace and character that he himself models so clearly, A modest but clear conservative Reformed work based on lecture notes,
Strong points:skillful use of biblical languages in exegesiscombination of Dutch, Scottish, and Southern Reformed thinkers, A solid twentieth century Reformed ST covering all the major loci of theology, I appreciate

Dr. Smiths broad exposure within the Reformed tradition, though sometimes his sources struck me as eclectic, Considering the whole, there is some unevenness in treatment, I do not think that Dr, Smith accomplished his purpose of producing a resource for the Christian home, I likewise do not think that this work is particularly academic in nature, though this clearly demonstrates Smiths personal ability as a fine scholar, I would recommend this over some of the more innovative options available today e, g. , Frame, Horton, but I prefer other standard texts e, g. , Berkhof, Calvin, Bavinck, Dabney, Beeke/Smalley, Letham, Morton H.
