Summary: "A theological masterwork for the ages.
Comment: "A New Systematic Theology of the Christian Faith" by Dr. Robert L. Reymond is a theological masterwork for the ages. Dr. Reymond combines a rare level of religious fervor and passion for his subject matter with an even rarer level of intellectual acuity and scholarly analysis. The result is a book which repeatedly draws the reader into new depths of devotion and worship as well as new depths of self-examination and humility while exploring a wondrous panorama of profound biblical exegesis and theological reasoning. Dr. Reymond is passionately Calvinistic; but in his presentation of Calvinism it is always substantial theological issues of the Christian faith which are examined with such religious passion and intellectual depth that any studious Christian of any theological persuasion will be edified, nurtured, trained, challenged, enriched, and transformed. Dr. Reymond is a Calvinist, because he finds that Calvinism offers a truly God-centered understanding of the Bible and the Christian faith rather then the man-centered distortions of Christian thought and practice which are so prevalent today. This book is no garden variety T-U-L-I-P. It's a resplendent bouquet of astonishing flowers that were grown and gathered to the glory of God.

Summary: A must-have resource
Comment: I find myself using Dr. Reymond's book probably more than any other theological text (other than the Bible) that I own. The writing is more clear than many more "popular-level" books on the subject, and he does a wonderful job of laying out a Calvinistic, presbyterian, covenant, supralapsarian theology of Scripture.
You may not agree with all of his conclusions (the supralapsarian view being, in particular, a distinct minority view even among the Reformed), but there is no disputing the fact that he gives extensive support and exegesis for every single meticulous argument in his book.
Particularly valuable is the section dealing with each (and I mean EVERY one) of the Scriptures that supposedly point to a universal atonement, and his passionate defense of particular redemption. Also, the book contains a strong critique of dispensational theology along with a solid argument for the covenant view. Again, you may disagree with the conclusions, but he presents strong arguments.
All in all, I have not seen a better recent work on Reformed systematic theology anywhere, and I cannot recommend this book highly enough, especially to someone who is just beginning an investigation into Reformed theology. You'll want the classics as well, but this book is destined to become one, and is essential for dealing with the current theological issues facing the Reformed Christian.

Summary: Very Good
Comment: This is perhaps the best advanced one-volume systematic theology there is at this time.
Along with Grudem, perhaps the best beginning/intermediate one-volume systematic theology is the one by Vincent Cheung. His book is available as a free downloadable ebook. Look up "vincent cheung theology" on the web, and I think you will find it.
But you can't go wrong with Reymond's book too.
