Trinitarian, reformational, and baptistic, Stephen Wellum’s Systematic Theology models a serious evangelical engagement with the Scriptures while being grounded in church history and keenly aware of contemporary issues. Building on decades of research, Wellum formulates doctrine exegetically, covenantally, and canonically for a new generation of students, pastors, church leaders, and seasoned theologians.

"Stephen Wellum has given us the best systematic theology from the perspective of 'progressive covenantalism.' An alternative to both classic Reformed covenant theology and dispensationalism, Wellum casts a wide vision for this 'third way' of interpreting Scripture. Although I remain persuaded of the former perspective, I found Wellum's arguments edifying, challenging and at many points an advance in serious evangelical engagement with Scripture's own theological framework. Plus, he writes for the church and that aim is evident throughout all of the topics."
--Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California
"Steve Wellum is one of the most astute and brilliant theologians of our day and now we are treated to his magnum opus. This volume is a profound systematic theology that draws on biblical theology, historical theology, and philosophy in formulating a coherent and articulate presentation of Christian doctrine. In my mind no one has done this better today than Steve Wellum. He emphasizes that systematic theology is practical--it is theology applied to all of life. We all live, whether we know it or not, based on our systematic theology. Thus, this is a life-changing book that is a must read both for the academy and for the church."
