Great reference text - Kindle version

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2012

Verified Purchase

I am not going to add to the many positive comments on the content already posted except to note that I agree with most of them. I want to post some comments on the Kindle version since I have not seen many reviews of it.
The Kindle version is the same text as the second edition print copy. I had initially bought the Kindle copy in March 2012 but had to return it because it did not contain "real page numbers" even though it was advertised at that time that it did. I needed the page numbers to read the original text from citations to this text found in papers. When I saw it 2 months later in May 2012 with page numbers advertised, I was both a little annoyed and curious. If they had not changed the advert since the last time I bought it, I would post a complaint and at the same time I really wanted an electronic copy to ease my reference work. And as it turns out, it did have page numbers that match the printed version, in addition to the silly Kindle location number scheme. Now it is truly a great reference text.
So on with the review of the Kindle edition, the text in electronic form contains all the Greek, Hebrew and transliteration fonts reasonably accurately displayed, although I have not figured out a way to search for them or even select them individually on my reader. If you copy a portion of text with these fonts in them, they will simply not appear when you paste them elsewhere. The diagrams are accurately rendered but was not "zoomable" in the Android Kindle reader, although it can be done with the IPod Kindle reader. The overall appearance in the various readers is very close to the printed text. I have a copy of it for comparison.
I love the electronic edition because I can now copy and paste references for my work and search the text for relevant material easily. I can make notes, bookmark and hi lite. Best part of all this is that it is available on my kindle, IPod and PC, I only wish I had my original notes from the margins of the print copy here as well. I have mentioned some cons already but the biggest feature lacking is the lack of hyper linked bible verses. Some of these are Kindle reader issues but that is another matter to be raised elsewhere.
In this Kindle edition, we now have a great and useable reference resource.

This is a very comprehensive theology. Alternative views are presented followed by a conclusion with the author's own standpoint. These conclusions are presented with conviction but not so dogmatically as to exclude or insult the intelligence of those with other viewpoints.

The chapters are well organised for the student, each beginning with objectives, a summary, study questions and a chapter plan. These help the student to read critically and to engage their thinking hat as they read. It also makes the text more useful as a reference work.

The Kindle edition reads fairly well. My one gripe is the the contents page is not indexed itself. If you want to jump to the contents page you have to go to the 'beginning' which is the preface, then scroll back to find the contents. As there are 60 chapters, this can involve a lot of scrolling. Luckily the chapter headings in the contents page are indexed.

The price seems fairly high for a kindle edition, but for 1313 pages it's probably worth it even just to avoid having to reinforce your book shelf.

Christian Theology by Millard j Erickson is an excellent text for those wishing to familiarize themselves with systematic theology. He writes at a scholarly level yet makes the material accessible to the average reader. The format is especially helpful to the non-academic readers in that the subjects and chapters are arranged logically and with conceptual connections well established between them. The review questions for each chapter are especially helpful. It should be noted that any commentary or theology textbook is written from within the theological framework of the author. In this case Dr. Erickson primary framework is that of moderate Calvinism. This is evident in his treatment of the nature of God, the nature of man, the doctrine of salvation, and the doctrine of the Holy Spirit.

Where does one begin or stop at!

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2014

Verified Purchase

As a seminary student, first year, this book is just great. I think Wayne Grudem's Systemic Theology is a classic but this is a very close second and that is only because of the structure between the two books. What this book does is present many other views with the author putting forth his but that is just the issue it brings one up to speed on the latest views on the subjects presented in this book. One can easily see that the author is widely read and thoughtfully approaches each and every topic he presents. Now what the reader really recieves is Historical Theology with Systemic theology and Practical theology. This book is a great surface source for any theology research in addition it is far from dogmatic he actually presents how he reaches his views by presenting the other views. At times he shows how contemporary views are only dressed up older views for our theological consumption I wonder why he does not teach philosophy as well. Basically as I learn more and more about theology I see that this book gives you much more than say, Systemic Theology, you get a lot more I will be consulting this well past my seminary education.

Superb resource

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2004

Verified Purchase

This was my textbook for systematic theology at Liberty U. Seminary. It is a highly readable and very solid addition to my library that can benefit both the lay-person and the theologian alike. Erickson treats many topics with surprising detail despite this being a single volume. He discusses different theories and their plusses and minuses. This book has blessed me in its Scriptural rationale and superb guidance.

He begins with a lot of philosophical writing that at first I did not understand, nor did I see the significance of its inclusion. After reading, though, I noticed how it relates when I was talking with others regarding Christianity. It has made me a better apologetic and I understand the way theologies are formed.
