An absolute Gem! Manual of Theology is just that. Mr. Dagg has given us an almost flawless Systematic Theology. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Simple, thorough, Biblical, and fulfilling. This would provide a church with a perfect Sunday School curriculum or make a great gift for young and mature Christians alike who wish to grow in their faith, love, and knowledge of God and His Word. Less than 400 pages, but slammed full of relevant and edifying biblical insight. I would highly recommend purchasing the book! You can find PDF versions out there. Grab a sample and see for yourself. Check it out!

Dagg did a wonderful job of presenting his chosen material. While thoroughly enjoying his book, I found him wedded to Protestantism's unscriptural view of the universal invisible Church, which is unsupportable. The alone made it impossible for me to give the book a five star rating.

This is a good book with sound arguments. Dagg very methodically makes a case for Baptist ecclesiology, however his context is dated. He addresses Quakers and Landmark Baptists in his arguments and answers their objections well. His arguments are very thorough, especially his word study on baptizw (baptism). While it is a good book, it's rhetorical style and context make it hard to love. Biblical Foundations for Baptist Churches by John Hammett is a contemporary version of this book.

This book is an excellent introduction to Particular Baptist theology. It provides a good, solid overview of what Particular Baptists believe.

Great example early American Baptist Theology.

Much like Aquinas. If, you know, Aquinas had been a 19th century Baptist.
Which he might have been, who knows?
