Easy to read and understand ### ⭐⭐⭐ Disappointing. The many good parts are offset my just as many bad parts. *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2020* I bought the Kindle edition Louis Berkhof's "Systematic Theology" because of its low price. I had never read a book of systematic theology before, so I didn't have any idea of what to expect. It turmes out there are many good aspects to this book. Unfortunately, the good parts are offset by just as many bad parts.First the good: Louis Berkhof (1873-1957) an American-Dutch Reformed theologian was a very good writer. To a large degree, he presented his theology in clear, lively, and relatively understandable writing style for a layperson such as myself. On a few occasions, he does include some dense and hard-to-follow passages, but fortunately these passages are far and few between. I gained a great deal of understanding about what systematic theology is in general, and specifically what Dr. Berkhof's theological positions are.This leads to what I found bad about this book: Dr. Berkhof spends nearly one-half of the book explaining why every other theology besides his own position - Reformed Protestantism (Calvinism) - is wrong. Now, I understand that it's important for a theologian to defend their position - no theologian worth their salt would do less. But Dr. Berkhof defends his positions so forcefully that, to me, this book became less about explaining theology systematically and more about trying to convince me that his theology is the only one that is correct.One particular feature of this book I found very annoying: on many occasions, Dr. Berkhof quotes different theologians in their original language (mostly Dutch and German), but does not bother to provide a translation into English of these quotations in the text. I found myself continually forced to use an online translator to discover what these quotations meant.I did learn a great deal from Dr. Berkhof's "Systematic Theology," but, at the end of the day, I found its usefulness to me to be quite limited. Recommended, but with serious reservations. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Navigation for Kindle Edition - GO TO, Table of Contents, No Index *by T***4 on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2017* At the time I purchased this book, there were four different kindle versions listed, each with a different price, and the reviews for all of these plus all print editions were combined together. I could find only two reviews which addressed the kindle format, and both mentioned particular issues. But I have no idea which version they had originally been attached to. I checked the sample, and it looked hopeful, so I went ahead and bought the version with ASIN B01N6YQU6A.Navigation: On a Kindle, one can use the GO TO function to get to any chapter. In between the Cover and the Preface there is a full table of contents with links to divisions and subdivisions within the chapters. So if you know where the content you want is located, you can get there in a few steps.But I did not see any sort of index. If you do not already know where the content you are interested in is located, you would need to use the search feature and hope that the key word(s) you select will be the same ones the author used in at least part of his discussion of the topic.The lack of an index will not be a large problem for those wanted to read entire sections, and who can find the desired entire section in the table of contents. But depending on how well your device handles searches and its own indexing, the lack of an index could be an issue for some readers. I debated whether the lack of an index was enough to lower the rating from 5 stars to 4, but left it at 5 stars.I have yet to read the entire book, but my initial skimming is consistent with my high hopes for it. Other reviewers have addressed the actual content in much greater detail, and I refer you to them on that subject. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/40655835-systematic-theology-paperback-february-7-2017](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/40655835-systematic-theology-paperback-february-7-2017) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
