A Systematic Theology of Biblical Christianity, vol. 1
Overview
Logos Bible Software is pleased to introduce the first 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 first volume provides an excellent introduction to systematic theology, defining the discipline and giving some history. The remainder of volume one covers the doctrine of Scripture (with a section on the dispensations), the doctrine of God (existence, self-revelation, personality, attributes, unity and tri-unity, and universe), and the doctrine of angels.
- Comprehensive, articulate, and contextual
- Ideal for pastors, theologians, and students
- All Scripture references directly linked to the Bibles in your library
Top Highlights
“‘God is the infinite and perfect spirit in whom all things have their source, support, and end.’” (Page 159)
“In short, illumination does three things: It provides (1) an intuitive certainty that the Scriptures came from God and are true and authoritative; (2) a removal of the hostility toward Scripture caused by depravity; and (3) an ongoing capacity to understand the significance of Scripture.” (Page 57)
“God’s ultimate purpose and the unifying principle of His activity is to glorify Himself by establishing a rule of loving sovereignty and fellowship with human beings in His image and dwelling with them forever.” (Page 137)
“Second and most common is God’s separation from all that is ethically unclean, a holiness of moral purity.” (Page 247)
“Dispensationalism emphasizes God’s progressive self-revelation and the resulting human responsibilities (or stewardships) this revelation generates. One notable outcome of such an approach is a fundamental theological distinction between Old Testament Israel and the New Testament church.” (Page 105)
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.

Rolland McCune’s Systematic Theology of Biblical Christianity is written for pastors and preachers by a theologian with a heart for pastors. Concise yet thorough, academic yet pastoral, simple yet profound, Dr. McCune has managed to provide a much needed theological resource that will be of immense value to both pastors and academicians. 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.
