Where would be some good systematic theologies to read and reference now?

[JesusFan]

What authors would you suggest and why?

Wayne Grudem - Systematic Theology_ An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine (1994, Zondervan)
It's an easy read with minimal technical terms and he does address to some degree opinions contrary to his.
Aside: I've read 10 - 15 Systematic Theology books and this one I favored most which is not to say some others were not very good also. I few were difficult to read.

I have read him, and the only real disagreement had with him was his take upon spiritual gifts such as tongues and prophecy still being active today
