He then describes the foundations of dogmatics -- that is, the framework within which dogmatics should be studied. Material dogmatics -- the building on that foundation -- is usually divided into several parts (God, Christ, Israel, the Holy Spirit, and other themes), which Berkhof examines individually in the book's final section. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In a day when Christians see a need to produce and study explanations of their faith, Berkhof has provided a useful tool to enable them to understand what dogmatics really is, so that they can then account for their faith in a systematic, thorough, and understandable way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hendrikus Berkhof\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
