For over 30 years, Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology has been a trusted resource for students, pastors, and anyone seeking to understand Christian doctrine clearly and biblically. Now thoroughly revised and expanded, this second edition brings fresh clarity, thoughtful updates, and over 250 pages of new material—while keeping the strengths that made the first edition so widely used.

Each of the 57 chapters offers:

  • Clear explanations of key doctrines
  • Strong biblical foundations with extensive Scripture references
  • Practical applications for daily life
  • Key terms, discussion questions, memory verses, and worship suggestions

What’s new in this edition:

  • Updated discussions on major debates, including the Trinity, the age of the earth, women in ministry, and spiritual gifts
  • Expanded critiques of open theism, Molinism, the “new perspective on Paul,” and theistic evolution
  • Stronger chapters on the clarity of Scripture and the doctrine of creation
  • New material on the impassibility of God, eternal submission within the Trinity, and the meaning of monogenes in John 3:16
  • More interaction with Catholic theology, Protestant liberalism, and Mormonism
  • Updated bibliographies and Scripture references (now using the ESV)
  • A contemporary worship song added to each chapter, alongside classic hymns
