Systematic Philosophical Theology is a multi-volume explication of Christian doctrine in the classic Protestant tradition of the loci communes. Blending the disciplines of biblical theology, historical theology, and analytic theology, this landmark series provides readers with a biblically faithful, philosophically coherent articulation of the full range of Christian doctrine.
