The copyright on this book is 1939. On the title page we are told: “This volume is a companion volume to the author’s “Systematic Theology” and contains the historical material to be used with that work.” In a preface dated 1949, Berkhof says that this book was the “Historical Volume of what was originally called “Reformed Dogmatics”.” So it sounds like “Reformed Dogmatics” was repackaged into the two books “The History of Christian Doctrines” and “Systematic Theology”.

“This book was first published in 1938. It’s copyright has expired and is in the public domain according to The Christian Digital Library Foundation, Inc.” (from google search.)
