Digital Logos Edition
Logos Bible Software is excited to bring you the third volume of A Systematic Theology of Biblical Christianity by Dr. Rolland McCune. This series represents the culmination of decades of study and teaching theology. It will be of great value to pastors, educators, missions leaders, ministerial students, and other leaders in the local church. This volume includes the doctrines of salvation, the Church, and last things.
“Alva J. McClain has the best and most concise definition: ‘That God, before the foundation of the world, chose all believers to salvation in Christ with all its attendant blessings and obligations.’10 This definition demonstrates that election is pre-temporal, personal, redemptive, and comprehensive.” (Page 4)
“Regeneration is the instantaneous, supernatural impartation of spiritual life to the spiritually dead.” (Page 49)
“Present sanctification is a continuous and unremitting, though gradual, elimination of sin in the believer and a similarly continuous and unremitting conforming of the believer to the image of Christ.” (Page 140)
“As stated before, the church, which is the body of Christ, is the whole spiritual body of true Christian believers of this age regardless of location or circumstances. It is the total number of Spirit-baptized believers—those saved between the Day of Pentecost and the Rapture—whether they are in heaven or on earth.” (Page 201)
“Saving faith is the knowledge of, assent to and unreserved trust in the accomplished redemption of Christ as revealed in the Scriptures.” (Page 71)
This is the systematic theology set for which many of us—especially those of us who had the privilege of studying under Dr. Rolland McCune—have been waiting. Rolland McCune is one of the clearest thinkers in the theological world today, and in this set he systematically combines the interpretations of Scripture that many of us have wished to find in a single theology set. Highlights include a presuppositional apologetic, a single source (Scripture) as the only rule for theology, cessationism [sic] of the miraculous gifts, pretribulational premillennialism in eschatology, a dispensational structure of God’s progressive revelation, recent creationism, and a Calvinist soteriology. In addition, McCune has gained a comprehensive knowledge of evangelical theological works in his lifetime, and hundreds of footnotes saturate the pages of this work. It is highly recommended.

Rolland McCune’s Systematic Theology of Biblical Christianity is written for pastors and preachers by a theologian with a heart for pastors. Concise yet thorough, academic yet pastoral, simple yet profound, Dr. McCune has managed to provide a much needed theological resource that will be of immense value to both pastors and academicians. His balanced, biblical approach is refreshing. Careful scholarship and thorough research are evident on every page. This will be a tool that serious students of the Bible will find themselves turning to again and again.
