The Christian church has a long tradition of systematic theology, that is, studying theology and doctrine organized around fairly standard categories such as the Word of God, redemption, and Jesus Christ. This introduction to systematic theology has several distinctive features: - A strong emphasis on the scriptural basis for each doctrine and teaching - Clear writing, with technical terms kept to a minimum - A contemporary approach, treating subjects of special interest to the church today - A friendly tone, appealing to the emotions and the spirit as well as the intellect - Frequent application to life - Resources for worship with each chapter - Bibliographies with each chapter that cross-reference subjects to a wide range of other systematic theologies.

This new printing of Louis Berkhof's Systematic Theology offers a bit of a surprise and, we hope, a significant service to the readers of this eminent volume. For most of its history under the title Systematic Theology, Professor Berkhof's work has appeared as a theological system without introduction or prolegomenon. In this new edition of Berkhof's work, we have returned his prolegomenon to its proper place. For Berkhof did indeed write a formal prolegomenon to his theology, titled Introduction to the Study of Systematic Theology. That Professor Berkhof himself intended the Introduction to be read together with the system is immediately evident. It is also the case that the Introduction was an integral part of Berkhof's address to theology from the outset of his teaching. We can only hope that the publication of Berkhof's Systematic Theology, now complete with its prolegomenon, will increase its usefulness and extend its time of service to the world of theology. It remains the best modern English-language introduction to the doctrinal theology of the Reformed tradition. - Back cover.

Akhirnya, tak ada yang mesti dipertahankan. Sejak semula, ia sudah tak pernah mendengar suara yang indah dari ibunya, memberi arah dan aba-aba, tetapi suara gemuruh, suara lorong-lorong pengap, berbisik pada daun yang jatuh. “Hidup enak, baju indah, dan segala kemewahan, kau sebut kebahagiaan. Aku percaya menulis juga kebahagiaan. Suara yang didengar akan hilang, kalimat yang dituliskan akan abadi.”

Albert Mohler Jr., president, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary "Going to sleep with John Piper's words on your mind will coax you from complacency and wake you up to a passionate faith." Phil Callaway, speaker and bestselling author Story Behind the BookJohn Piper's life-long love affair with his church is evidenced in each of the 140 articles included in Taste and See. Originally, each article was written for his flock at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis .

A few are colorful anecdotes from a pastor's daily life--a pastor whose heartbeat for God pulsates through every word.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Tugas pemberitaan Injil ini dimulai dari seorang Gembala Jemaat, tetapi tugas tersebut bukan hanya menjadi monopoli Gembala Jemaat, melainkan harus melibatkan anggota Jemaat untuk melakukan tugas penginjilan. Oleh sebab itu untuk memperlengkapi Jemaat dalam pelayanan, pelatihan penginjilan dapat menjadi program suatu Gereja lokal maupun seorang Gembala. Dengan demikian pertumbuhan Jemaat secara kuantitas maupun kualitas dapat dipastikan dialami Gereja tersebut.
