Summary: Very good, but biased
Comment: A very useful book, but clearly biased in favour of the Trinitarian and orthodox Christian position.
Very weak and dismissive arguments on the 'Soul Sleep' issue in particular.

Summary: A Spiritual Systematic Theology
Comment: I read Grudem's work in conjunction with Millard Erickson's similar work. Grudem is a little simpler read than Erickson, although at times he will require the reader to think hard, especially concerning salvation. Grudem comes from a post-tribulational, charismatic-calvinist bent.
The work is unashamedly evangelical, although Grudem will at times express his indebtedness to non-evangelical theologians. Most evangelicals will agree with him on the doctrines of God, Bible, and creation. The points of difference for evangelicals will be salvation (many good argumetns from many positions), the authority within the church, and the millenium. This book differs from other theologies at the end of each chapter. Grudem offers study questions, memory verses, hymns, and a bibliography for furthter study.
I found that Grudem's most well argued sections were :salvation, Providence, modern day gifts (for which i remain unconvinced), and the millennium (also unconvinced). His logic for the most part is impeccable. I read this book alongside Erickson and Calvin and found it most helpful. It is well worth the price.

Summary: Systematic proof texting
Comment: Wayne Grudem is often hailed as the common mans theologian. He has attempted to create and accessible and readable systematic theology. Grudems certainly achieves this, however, it is unfortunate that the book is simply bad. Its use of poor prose and systematic proof texting means that the books is an uncontrable waste of money. In Grudems attempts to render the book accessible he simply strings a long list of verses together with some rather flimsy, superficial exergesis. It has been and will continue to be a popular book within charasmatic circles due to Grudems stance on tongues, yet what ever you wish to believe about that and other controversial issues there are better books to buy.
