@MJ. Smith can you help me with advice on how to make it a year reading plan on the days.

At 3 AM my time, expect a slow response 😎
Remember this method depends upon the book. If each entry is about the same length and starts a new page, you usually get excellent results. If the entries vary wildly in length it won't work.
- Use the Documents menu to create a new reading plan document
- Set the range to start on the first entry (12) skipping all the introductory material.
- Set the range to end on the last page of the final entry (407) skipping all the final materials
- Set the book tile
- Set the start date
- Generate the plan and see if it is useful.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Jonathan's recommendation is on sale from today until the end of December.

@Paul Caneparo thank you, I see that Herman Bavnick is also on sale 50%, wonder if I must get that one also.

@MJ. Smith Thank you, its not successful with pages some sections are cut off. Think I will just return it, and just do a large systematic every year.

@Lukas I haven't read Bavnick, but you might like to consider this Legacy Library which includes the abridged edition of the 4 volume set. The Legacy Library even at full price (without any dynamic pricing) is cheaper than buying the resource on its own.

I wish I could have gotten it for that price!

I'm sorry, but this is a terrible book. Someone picking this as their first systematic theology to read might be put off the subject completely.

What are your concerns, Sean?

I let a review on the product page when I read it 9 years ago as a Logos Now preview. I see it is on sale now, but I wouldn't pay $5 for it.

I'll go rite now to the review. Thank you.

I can't comment on the RC Sproul book, but a very good modern, evangelical introduction to systematic theology is Michael Bird's "What Christians ought to Believe". Sadly Logos only seem to have it in video format at present. I bought it in Kindle when on sale and it's very good.

These two are nice and doable in a busy schedule:

does anyone know how often the Herman Bavnick goes on sale as its currently on sale, I would like to build my Systematic Library and work through one every year.

Daily Doctrine is designed to be read 5 days a week, 260 days a year.
It's a nice very concise Systematic Theology.
"…this is not a textbook per se, and it is certainly not as long or as learned or as sophisticated as the classic systematic works out there. It is also not as in-depth and intellectually conversant as the many fine doctrinal magnum opuses still being written. But for me, this is just the book I wanted to write (at least for now)". DeYoung, Kevin. 2024. Daily Doctrine: A One-Year Guide to Systematic Theology. Wheaton, IL: Crossway.
I listen to a recording of it as I walk, then spend some time researching topics and sources referred to that piqued my interest.

Don’t forget to check if it’s in a collection that, based on your dynamic pricing, may be cheaper than the book itself. I got mine from a legacy library.

The Herman Bavinck 4 volume edition doesn't seem to be in Legacy Library, but the one volume is.

Awesome news. Thank you.

Thanks for clarifying. I should've specified which Bavinck I was referring to, and it was a Logos 10 library, not legacy (I picked up so many legacy libraries this year, it's all starting to get muddled in my mind).

This is Bavinck's 4-Volume set (It's titled Reformed Dogmatics.)

Bavinck also wrote a 4-Volume 'Reformed Ethics' to complement his systematic theology (or 'Dogmatics'). It's available as a Pre-Order from Logos.
