The word “corruptible” does have the connotation of decay or rotting. It isn’t only speaking g about spiritual corruption or corruptibility. Not saying the latter is not also implied in the word in the KJV. Just that the word itself means to decay or rot, as in a dead body that decays.

I’m confused how these two words are at all similar. They mean two opposite things!

I’m always excited when I find a new and theologically solid channel such as this one. There are quite a number of channels in the “reformed world” but not as many that are mainly focused on solid theology itself, such as with Edwards, Mastrick and others. Looking forward to checking out a bunch of your material as this is a real gem.

Wow, what a fascinating discussion. I only recently even heard of Mastrick but was struck with the fact that here is someone whom Edwards himself held in high esteem. Usually I think of Edwards as already the highest peak in terms of the greatest theologians.

great idea--I am not interested in rushing through the whole bible cover to cover in 2025 . this year I read the new testament in the groupings you show in Immerse Messiah over 8 months, the only thing I did not fully enjoy was the translation that was chosen by my group. I am also involved in a year long study of Revelation, Sept thru May through BSF -Bible Study Fellowship--It dips into the OT and NT during some weeks which I am fully enjoying.

1. Beeke and Smalley's systematic theology is a great multi-volume systematic theology from a Reformed or specifically Puritan perspective. Beeke is of course *the* modern day Puritan. 2. That said, maybe I'm biased since I've had a lot more exposure to him, but I prefer the works of J.I. Packer more than Beeke and Smalley for a Puritan systematic theology. That's mainly because I think Packer says most of what needs to be said more concisely (as Packer has said of himself, Packer by name and packer by trade!) and with more memorable and beautiful style. Otherwise the bas toic or fundamental content or information is more or less similar, or so it seems to me. Regrettably Packer famously or infamously never wrote a systematic theology when he had the ability and opportunity to do so. He was under contract to write a systematic theology with a famous Christian publisher but unfortunately never was able to do so. Perhaps Packer should have done so, but in the end he maintained there were already better systematic theologies in existence (Packer often recommended Berkhof) and he maintained he had other priorities come up. Given this, we need to refer to multiple works to get a good sense of Packer's (Puritan) systemic theology. I'd recommend books like Concise Theology, 18 Words, A Quest for Godliness, "Fundamentalism" and the Word of God, God Has Spoken, Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God, and The Heritage of Anglican Theology (which is really about Puritan Anglicanism). These contain the most robust systematic theological work from Packer, I think. Other works like Knowing God and Keep in Step with the Spirit are also excellent but tilt more toward practical theology than systematic theology, in my judgment. 3. Still, though I personally prefer Packer, I think this systematic theology by Beeke and Smalley is nevertheless valuable. It has its significant advantages over Packer. For example, it's more comprehensive on the classical loci than Packer is. It's also more comprehensive in bringing together the thinking of all the Puritans in general, whereas Packer tends to focus primarily on representative Puritans, especially his beloved Richard Baxter and John Owen. And Beeke and Smalley is more up to date on the scholarship. These are just some advantages over Packer that I'm aware of. 4. Of course, Puritan systematic theology is distinguishable from Reformed systematic theology too. Or at least Puritan systematic theology is a subset of Reformed theology in general. As such, one would do well to read Reformed systematic theology. For classic Reformed systematic theology, I still like Calvin best of all and Turretin equally as well. But Bavinck has made a huge comeback in recent years, thanks to Gray Sutanto (from Indonesia) and others. I've yet to read Jonathan Edwards's own favorite systematic theology, Petrus van Mastricht, whose works are finally being translated into English. I need to read more Charles Hodges as well, though I wish there was an edition of Hodges that translated his often lengthy sections of Latin which stymie me! Among with Vos, Warfield is the standout at Old Princeton, though Warfield is like Packer in that he never wrote a single systematic theology (Warfield so prized Hodges he didn't think he could ever best his great teacher) and so one must read various works by Warfield to get a good sense of his theology. Fred Zaspel has helpfully arranged Warfield into something like a systemic theology; Zaspel on Warfield would be an excellent place to start with Warfield, but of course eventually one must read Warfield on his own. For contemporary works, my favorites are: Robert Letham (though he's more of a historical systematic theologian); Robert Reymond (though he tends toward overly Clarkian views for my tastes); I actually think Grudem is underrated by most Reformed Christians (though I wouldn't say Grudem is as intellectually on par with Letham or Reymond); and especially John Frame. I think Frame is the most intellectually astute and robust living systematic theologian. That is, Frame gets the closest to being a philosophical theologian at a time when philosophical theology is well underway. I say this even though I don't entirely agree with Frame and even though he has many Reformed detractors especially in or associated with Westminster California (e.g. Michael Horton, R. Scott Clark). 5. All that said, I think Reformed Christians are sorely lacking in a great philosophical systematic theology. William Lane Craig is currently working on one which should set the standard for evangelical Christians in general, but Craig is a famous Molinist in the vein of Alvin Plantinga, not Reformed. But there's hope, for there are some philosophically and theologically intelligent and knowledgeable Reformed professors who have the ability to write one. Specifically I'm hopeful that someone like James Anderson and/or Greg Welty will pick up the mantle and write a systematic philosophical theology from a Reformed/Calvinist perspective.

Good question. I think at a lay-level, this set is going to be the gold standard for anyone who wants something more than a one-volume systematic theology. Obviously, people who aren't interested in "reformed" will go elsewhere but that represents pretty slim pickings in my opinion. For seminaries, this book is certainly adequate but it's hard to see Bavinck Turretin and Mastricht eclipsed from schools because of how useful they are. I think this set is best used supplementally with the previously mentioned ones, which is how we are using it in class.

I feel like the study bibles (and I have a lot) are helpful TOOLS, just like good books written to help elucidate Scripture. I read Charles Stanley’s, John MaCarthur’s, and several others. Almost All of their introduction pages say something like “remember this is a tool, read the scripture on its own daily as well as this” or something to that effect. Love these. Think I’m becoming a Bible hoarder but I do read them all. Hope I’m not sinning by reading so many and so many translations other than the paraphrase ones or ones that obviously aren’t coming from the Inspired Manuscripts. Ty for this video and God Bless. I’ve bee unable to find the NKJV of the Reformation Bible. It seems ESV is all that’s left.
