Systematic Theologies are helpful, especially when sifting through a certain doctrine and trying to understand it more fully. I'm not in my office but offhand I have a couple of well known... Gruden is probably one I refer to often. I also like what Kenneth Boa did with Conformed to His Image, which focuses on Spiritual Formation but does so from a theological approach. Mark E. Moore's Core 52 gives brief introductions for newcomers to theology that I think help stir further interest. Definitely worthy of our attention. But I appreciate your emphasis on reading the Bible for yourself. Most important. And not being tied to just one author/commentator for further information. Thanks for this.
