Biblical Dogmatics: A Systematic Theology in Brief
A.G. Voigt's Biblical Dogmatics is a short and comprehensive account of Christian Theology from a Lutheran perspective. Voigt uses the traditional Loci method of Lutheran Scholasticism, while being sensitive to the best of early twentieth century Biblical scholarship. He covers all major topics in Christian theology, and does so in a manner that is readable and exegetically sensitive. This is an ideal introduction to Lutheran Dogmatics.Among the topics covered in this work Theology proper, the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, the nature of salvation, the sacraments, the church, and eschatology. Voigt's approach to these issues is Biblical and Confessional.

Fantastic introduction to dogmatics from a raw, Biblical point of view.
The strong points in this work, in my mind, were Voigt’s overviews of the glorified body (parts in ch7 & ch10) Christology (ch6), Pneumatology (ch8) the Church & the means of grace (ch9), God (ch1), and the World & Man (ch2). Especially good were his sections on Providence, the Order of Salvation, Baptism, the Exaltation of Christ and Redemption, the Communication of Properties, and the Word of God.
However, this work was not without some weaknesses. Voigt is clearly indebted to Cartesian-adjacent language, which caused some confusion for me especially in chapter six. Furthermore, some of his arguments (though rare) were at times weak. An example of this is his argument for Traducianism.
Despite this, this work was not too technical. In my opinion, it serves as a perfect introduction not just to systematic theology, but to Biblical Dogmatics as well.
I definitely recommend this work.
