Congregational Systematic Theology

Chafer, Lewis Sperry. Systematic Theology. Volume 5 & 6 (Read on-line) Chafer is well known as one of the leaders of modern Christian Dispensationalism. His theology is particularly premillenial pretribulational dispensational. So this would be also an interesting book to pentecostal believers who hold such views.

Baptist Systematic Theology

Gill, John. Staughton, William (Editor) Gill's Complete Body of Practical and Doctrinal Divinity (1767, 1770, this edition 1810) This edition contains the two books by John Gill: A Body of Doctrinal Divinity (1767) and A Body of Practical Divinity (1770). This way one gets a dogmatic /systematic and a practical theology in one book. Gill writes from a baptist perspective and uses Calvinistic soteriology.
