The church needs good theology that engages the head, the heart and the hands. This first volume of a four-volume systematic theology by Joel Beeke and Paul M. Smalley combines rigorous historical and theological scholarship with application and practicality, in an approach that is accessible, Reformed and experiential.

The volume covers the first two of eight central themes, revelation and God. Each of its 55 chapters exegetes, expounds and applies the key portions of Scripture lying at the heart of the doctrine under discussion, and closes with study questions to encourage engagement and worship. Sinclair B. Ferguson calls the work an immensely valuable gift to the twenty-first-century church.
