1.0 out of 5 starsAbridged? Decimated!
By Stephen Hancock on March 1, 2003
Format: Paperback
Anyone wanting to read Hodge, should go with the three volume edition. Yes, there is far too much interaction with the pseudo-science of the day, but this "abridgement" lays waste to whole areas of interest to anyone who would want to read Hodge in the first place. It's interesting that one of the areas where the cutting is most obvious is in the area where the "editor" disagrees with Hodge the most, that is the locus of "eschatology". The editor is a Premillennialist and Hodge, like all Princetonians was a clear Postmillennialist. If you want to read Hodge without the excess verbiage, buy A.A Hodge's "Outlines of Theology", which is based on the very same lectures that Charles Hodge published as his Systematics. It's simpler, yet doesn't alter the truth the way this chopped-up mess does. This abridgement is a master maligned.

5.0 out of 5 starsReformed Theology
By A Customer on July 6, 1998
Format: Paperback
The original Hodge's theology was three large volumes, with frequent pages cited in Latin, German, Greek, and occaisional other languages. But, it was the best of American Reformed theology from the turn of the century. Edward Gross has condensed and revised this work, and made it readable (all in English). I recommend this book for any Christian interested in the deeper side of the faith, and advise also reading Basic Theology by Charles Ryrie as a balancing view.

4.0 out of 5 starsNote Latin is deleted not translated
By Tomtul2 on July 9, 2003
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Note that the long latin quotations in the original book have simply been deleted, not translated. Still worthwhile even if many sections go over the head of the average reader--many other sections are accessible and made me exclaim "he is the Reformed C. S. Lewis".

5.0 out of 5 stars2016 edition
By T on March 30, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Just got this and was hard to put down. Just some really rich reformed theology. Hodge writes very clearly, even by todays modern language. I will say that the Amazon main listing shows a 1981 printing. I received a 2016 printing by Hendrickson; Green, hardbound and printed in USA. This is a review of the 3 volume Set and in this 2016 edition.Also, the Latin that Hodge used has been retained, but no translation. Highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 starsThorough
By Doug Erlandson TOP 50 REVIEWER on November 6, 2015
Format: Hardcover
My first encounter with Charles Hodge's "Systematic Theology" was more than 30 years ago while preparing for my licensing exams in the Reformed Church in the United States. The three volumes of this systematic theology continue to have a prominent place on my bookshelf. Hodge's discussion of the attributes of God is one of the best around, as is his analysis of the nature of the atonement.

More than a summary of Christian doctrine, Hodge's work contains references to and descriptions of many different views that have been held in the history of Christian thought. Moreover, his interaction with the Bible is far more than proof-texting. Instead, he shows in detail how these passage bear on the topic under consideration. All in all, this is one of the best Reformed systematic theologies available today.

4.0 out of 5 starsExtensive Graduate Level Theology
By Mr. Ronald E. Miller on November 10, 1997
Format: Hardcover
This is the most extensive theology from the REFORMED tradition in fairly recent times. Written by Charles Hodge, a professor at Princeton in the early 1900's, it is a scholarly presentation of the historic Christian faith. If you are looking for a deep analysis of doctrine, with consideration of the alternatives (Catholic, Orthodox, and Liberal) this is the book. Written at a Graduate level, I do not recommend it before studying college level theology. At least read Ryrie's "Basic Theology" (ISBN 089693814X) first. But for a really comprehensive study, this is the book.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent resource
By Steve on December 5, 2013
Format: Hardcover
Charles Hodge has the rare ability of saying complicated things in simple and direct ways. There is a clarity and even simplicity to these (long) systematics that is refreshing. Hodge interacts well with competing views, and his argumentation is always thoroughly Scriptural. He and I would disagree at points, but I wouldn't dare take him on in debate. Excellent resource!
