Preface<br />

Now that my <strong>Systematic</strong> <strong>Theology</strong> is again being reprinted, the Preface can be very<br />

brief. It is not necessary to say much about the nature of the work, since it has been<br />

before the public for more than fifteen years and has been used extensively. I have every<br />

reason to be grateful for its kind reception, for the favourable testimony of many<br />

reviewers, and for the fact that the book is now used as a textbook in many Theological<br />

Seminaries and Bible Schools in our country, and that requests were even received from<br />

abroad for permission to translate it into other languages. These are blessings which I<br />

had not anticipated, and for which I am deeply grateful to God. To Him be all the honor.<br />

And if the work may continue to be a blessing in many sections of the Church of Jesus<br />

Christ, it will but increase my recognition of the abundant grace of God.<br />
