Logos Bible Software is proud to release the second volume of A Systematic Theology of Biblical Christianity by Dr. Rolland McCune. This series represents the culmination of decades of study and teaching theology. It will be of great value to pastors, educators, missions leaders, ministerial students, and other leaders in the local church. This volume includes the doctrines of man, sin, Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
“A spiritual gift is a sovereign, God-given, Holy Spirit-energized ability, whether naturally inherited and used or miraculously endowed and used, whether temporary or permanent, given for service within the ministry and outreach of the local church.” (Page 349)
“Baptism of the Holy Spirit is the judicial, objective, non-experiential placing of a true believer into the church, which is the body of Christ.” (Page 312)
“In short, God’s moral law is an expression of God’s holy nature, holiness being His fundamental and governing moral attribute, which expression in turn creates a demand for perfect conformity.” (Page 45)
“Total depravity means that sin has penetrated and affected the whole of the sinner’s being.” (Page 63)
“(1) Total depravity does not mean that the unsaved have no disposition to do right.” (Page 62)
This is the systematic theology set for which many of us—especially those of us who had the privilege of studying under Dr. Rolland McCune—have been waiting. Rolland McCune is one of the clearest thinkers in the theological world today, and in this set he systematically combines the interpretations of Scripture that many of us have wished to find in a single theology set. Highlights include a presuppositional apologetic, a single source (Scripture) as the only rule for theology, cessationism [sic] of the miraculous gifts, pretribulational premillennialism in eschatology, a dispensational structure of God’s progressive revelation, recent creationism, and a Calvinist soteriology. In addition, McCune has gained a comprehensive knowledge of evangelical theological works in his lifetime, and hundreds of footnotes saturate the pages of this work. It is highly recommended.

His balanced, biblical approach is refreshing. Careful scholarship and thorough research are evident on every page. This will be a tool that serious students of the Bible will find themselves turning to again and again.
