This important work of Protestant dogmatics is an abridged version of Professor Berkhof's monumental work, Systematic Theology. It is part of a series of three works, designed to be used at three different levels of learning. This Handbook is ideal for use in the catechesis of university and high school students. Each chapter contains a section of questions that encourage reflection and learning. We are sure that this Handbook has been and will continue to be useful for the education of believers.
