Transcript:

Paul Smalley, my teaching assistant, is taking my lecture notes and turning them into chapters with footnotes. I then go over them again, so we're co-authoring a Reformed Systematic Theology for Crossway Books.

Volume 1 came out a couple of months ago. Volume 2 is already with the publisher and currently being edited, and we're now working on Volume 3. It’s going to be a four-volume set.

What this series does is take Calvin and Calvinism and present the Reformed faith, doctrine by doctrine, through four key lenses:

1. What does the Bible say about this truth?

2. What does church history say?

3. How is it experienced in the inner man?

4. What are the practical takeaways?

The goal of the book is to show that the Reformed faith is exciting—that no doctrine is boring. We believe with Luther that doctrine is heaven, because "by these things men live."

Each chapter is designed to lead you to a doxological response. We end every chapter with a hymn and a Q&A section. It’s written to be accessible for laypeople as well.
