Book Description<\/h2>\n

Just as Berkhof’s Systematic Theology<\/em> is outstanding in its own field, his Summary of Christian Doctrine<\/em> is unequalled as a popular handbook of Christian doctrine, written from an evangelical and reformed standpoint.<\/p>\n

Systematically arranged and helpfully sub-divided, A Summary of Christian Doctrine<\/em> has proved ideal for church study-groups. Passages for memorization and questions for review at the close of each chapter enhance the book’s value for the student.<\/p>\n
