Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology is widely recognized as a required reading in numerous courses on biblical theology, and there are good reasons for this. The textbook's emphasis on the scriptural basis for each doctrine, coupled with its clear writing and contemporary approach, make it an indispensable resource for many Christians.

In an effort to make this extensive work more accessible, this series presents each of the seven main parts that make up the 1,600-page Systematic Theology as separate books. This approach enhances the portability, affordability, and approachability of the content.

Part 4 of this series, "Making Sense of Christ and the Spirit," delves into the pivotal topic of Jesus Christ, exploring his nature as fully God and fully man in one person.

The book addresses several important topics, including:

The Person of Christ: This section examines the virgin birth, which unites Christ's full deity and humanity in one person, while also enabling his humanity to be without inherited sin. Additionally, it explores the incarnation, the act of God the Son whereby he took on a human nature.

The Doctrine of the Atonement: This topic examines the work Christ accomplished through his life and death to secure our salvation.

Jesus' Resurrection and Ascension: The book affirms the goodness of God's original creation of man as a creature with a physical body that was "very good," and it explores Christ's rightful place in glory and honor that had not been his before as the God-man.

Presented in a friendly and accessible tone, "Making Sense of Christ and the Spirit" appeals to the emotions and the spirit, as well as the intellect, of the reader. This approach helps readers overcome misconceptions, make informed decisions on new questions, and grow in their Christian faith.

The series' format, with each main part of the Systematic Theology available as a separate book, makes the content more portable, affordable, and less daunting for readers. This approach aims to enhance the overall accessibility and usefulness of Grudem's seminal work on systematic theology.
