A classic reformed work on systematic theology. Theologian Wayne Grudem (whose systematic theology is considered by many to be the best today) has called Berkhof's Systematic Theology "a great treasure-house of information and analysis....probably the most useful one-volume systematic theology available from any theological perspective." (as quoted in the Wikipedia article on Berkhof)

FREE ONLINE SEMINARY: Course of Study, Phase 2

Phase 2 will build on Phase 1 and you will:

• learn about the attributes of God, 
• get an overview of the Old Testament, 
• go deeper in learning sound principles for interpreting Scripture, 
• make worship an integral part of your prayer life, 
• get a handle on a basic cumulative case for the Christian faith,
• learn some practical tactics for having good conversations with unbelievers,
• finish your first year of New Testament Greek, and
• continue work on your major project.

1. A BROADER LOOK AT THEOLOGY
*ONLINE CLASS: "A Guide to Christian Beliefs" by Dr. I. Howard Marshall
*ARTICLE: "15 Amazing Attributes of God: What They Mean and Why They Matter"
*MEMORY VERSES: From the online course immediately below, choose one verse to memorize for each of the attributes of God.
*ONLINE COURSE: "The Attributes of God." 
*READING: For each section of this course, a section of Jen Wilkin's book None Like Him is assigned. This book is very reasonably priced, but you may alternatively choose to use the links for "additional resources" which will take you to the appropriate sections of books (some of them classics), which you can read online for FREE.

*"Overview: Genesis Ch. 1-11" by the Bible Project (8 minutes)
*"Overview: Genesis Ch. 12-50" by the Bible Project (8 minutes)
*Note about the Bible Project: You may want to watch the rest of their videos giving overviews of the books of the Bible. The videos are excellent and do a great job of laying out the narrative of the Bible as the story of God's plan of salvation. This is an important perspective and central to understanding the Bible; however, the authors have a very lop-sided view of the nature of Scripture that fails to understand (even undermines) other dimensions of God's revelation in Scripture--so use discernment.
