A must-have for any theological library

This is THE definitive book on Reformed Presbyterian theology. Hodge is strong not only in what he explains, but also how he explains it. Each section is divided into questions, as if someone was interviewing Hodge. He then answers each question in a very logical, ordered manner, giving the reader a very clear perception of each particular concept. Hodge leaves nothing uncovered, but rather touches on a very wide spectrum of Reformed theology, and every time his argument is succinct and backed with scripture. Everyone interested in theology, clergy or lay-person, should read this book to gain a deeper understanding of what the Reformed persuasion believes and why.

Outstanding!!!!

This book is a must for any Christian library, A. A. Hodge lays out in wonderful and understandable form a systematic thinking toward God. Each chapter broke down into understandable and easy to comprehend form. From chapter 1 "Christian theology; its several branches; and their relation to other departments of human knowledge." To chapter 43 "the Lord's supper" Mr. Hodge brings theology to life. A must in my opinion for any pastor, teacher or individual who wants to further their knowledge of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The explanation of Angels and the rise and fall of Satan are well explained.
