This is a giant of a book, and there is no way I could cover everything. Grudem divides his book into 7 parts.
1. The Doctrine of the Word of God
2. of God
3. of Man in the Image of God
4. of Christ and the Holy Spirit
5. of the Application of Redemption
6. of the Church
7. of the Future
The Trinity
Grudem now affirms the eternal generation of the Son and still affirms eternal functional submission (EFS). Concerning EFS, Grudem believes it is still proper to use the terms "authority" and "submission" in regard to the Father and the Son's relations to one another.
No matter which terms we use, it is a mistake to insist that the Father-Son relationship in Scripture is always perfectly symmetrical. It would be unfaithful to the consistent pattern of Scriptural language to deny any primacy to the role of the Father... However, if in the Trinity the Son is always subject to the authority of the Father yet also equal to the Father in deity and in honor, then it is understandable that, in carious kinds of relationships between persons, the existence of authority and submission within the relationship is compatible with both persons being equal in importance and honor. (305)
In regards to EFS, understands God to have one will, but there are three expressions of this will (307). He uses John 6:38 as an example, ââ?¬Å"For I have come down from heaven,Ã? not to do my own willÃ? butÃ? the will of him who sent meââ?¬Â? (p. 307). John 8:27, 29, 42 and Philippians 2:6 can be seen as examples of these three distinctive wills (though these verses donââ?¬â?¢t mention the Holy Spirit).

Grudem is very accessible and clear. Even though this is a large book, it is very accessible and lay-person friendly. If you're new to theology, or to systematic theologies, please don't be put off by the size of this book. Grudem, even where you disagree (this is a Reformed ST), is very good. For having written such a large volume, Grudem is incredibly easy to read. If you don't have the first edition you really should consider buying this second edition. Grudem's ST is Bible-centered. It covers so much ground (57 chapters), and he cover them pretty thoroughly (it's hard to be extremely thorough on 57 different topics). Highly recommended.Ã? Ã?
