“Every Christian should own a handbook of Christian doctrine. But not everyone is likely to begin with the four massive volumes of Joel Beeke and Paul Smalley’s Reformed Systematic Theology—despite all their value. Thankfully, we now have ‘Beeke and Smalley Junior’ in one volume at a simpler level. Still comprehensive and substantial, it is never ‘dumbed down.’ Wonderfully accessible and readable, it provides an ideal go-to volume for Christians of all ages and stages who want to ‘grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ’ (2 Pet. 3:18).”—Sinclair B. Ferguson, Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary; Teaching Fellow, Ligonier Ministries

“I praise God that the same great biblical truths that are set forth in the exhaustive Reformed Systematic Theology are now made available to all in a more concise and accessible edition. It will be an incalculable blessing and benefit to the laity, our youth, and the global church. This is a remarkable achievement.”—Paul Washer, Director, HeartCry Missionary Society

“The mighty four volumes of Beeke and Smalley’s Reformed Systematic Theology, in their 5,200 pages, are an achievement that may never again be approached in the thoroughness, length, piety, doxology, accessibility, pithiness, sobriety, and trustworthiness of the creation. It is a deeply spiritual work—heavenly, profitable, and full of practical application. It is also a precious companion for every preacher, suitable for the man in his first pastorate and fresh for the retired preacher who still hungers and thirsts for wisdom and righteousness. Now the essentials have appeared—a synopsis, a compression of four volumes into a single book of 1,088 pages with summaries at the beginning of individual chapters, a focus on their highlights, and references to the enlargements of the themes in the more comprehensive four volumes for more needed study. This brilliant summary is where many will begin. It seems almost indispensable to have this single volume as a launching pad or as the handmaiden to the genius of the four giants of truth and godliness.”—Geoffrey Thomas, Former Pastor, Alfred Place Baptist Church, Aberystwyth, Wales

“This condensed version of Beeke and Smalley’s more compendious volumes is to be greatly welcomed. It is to be hoped that a new readership will be reached and stimulated to search further into the riches of Reformed theology.”—Robert Letham, Senior Research Fellow, Union School of Theology
