Students of theology or any believer will find in the christian bookstores, many systematic theologies. Some will be very deep and philosophical, others will address practical and less dense aspects.
This systematic theology written by MacArthur and Mayhue has characteristics that make it very interesting: a) abundant theological quotations, b) explanations of complex terms and c) accessibility for all readers.
MacArthur, shows a Calvinistic soteriology, a dispensational eschatology and a scriptural perspective of God and man. Students of other theological schools can find in this work a reference material, as well a work to contrast ideas.
