Summary: Extremely good, terse introduction to systematic theology
Comment: I used this book as part of a two semester masters course in systematic theology. I -am- dispensationalist so am probably biased but I liked the level of treatment this book gave.
All the topics were tackled, lots of biblical references and it wasn't so wordy that I got bored.
I really liked the section on soteirology, I was actually inspired to get a couple of gospel messages out of it.
Systematic Theology can be dry. This book isn't.

Summary: Great Dispensational Doctrinal Overview
Comment: This is one of the better intro's to theology. It is concise, yet very informative. It is also from a Dispensational perspective. Most of the more popular systematic theologies are not Dispensational, except for Ryrie's and Chafer's.
As for the revised version changing from election based on God's foreknowledge (Arminian view) to election based on God's sovereignty (Calvinist view), I believe it was a mistake. To change the position of the original author is to take away from the book. One doesn't have to agree with everything he says to benefit from his writings. And besides, Dispensationalists are divided on this view, as are many evangelicals, so why not just leave Theissen's view in Theissen's book? My 5 star rating is for the original work.

Summary: Very good Systematic Theology Book
Comment: This book is one of the best introductory systematic theology books out there. This book can go side-by-side with Charles Ryrie's "Basic Theology". Both books are for introductory level systematic theology students, and both are dispensationally oriented. Thiessen gives concise yet full treatments on every doctrine out there in evangelical theology. He does not go on and on with each doctrine, but goes right to the point. The change made by the most recent edition of the book regarding predestination is correct. This is the only dark spot about Thiessen's views. The editors were correct when they opted for the Calvinistic view of election rather than the Arminian. However, besides that one minor error, this book is a good way to start off systematic theology study before going into those multi-volume works. It is unfortunate that dispensationally oriented systematic theology books are few. Chafer's eight-volume work may be considered out-of-date even with classical dispensationalists. For all those looking for a good introductory level systematic theology book, this does the job.
