The closest book to me has already been said by whimzgirl above, so I cheated and picked the second closest book.

"Sir Walter Elliot, of Kellynch-Hall, in Somersetshire, was a man who, for his own amusement, never took up any book but the Baronetage; there he found occupation for an idle hour, and consolation in a distressed one; there his faculties were aroused into admiration and respect, by contemplating the remnants of the earliest patents; there are unwelcome sensation, arising from domestic affairs, changed naturally into pity and contempt."

- Persuasion - Jane Austen

What is systematic theology? Many different definitions have been given, but for the purposes of this book the following definition will be used: systematic theology is any study that answers the question, "What does the whole Bible teach us today?" about any given topic.

Systematic Theology, Wayne Grudem

"Puritanism is most accurately defined as the outlook that characterized the radical Protestant party in Queen Elizabeth's day, who regarded the Reformation as incomplete and wished to model English church worship and government according to the Word of God."

The Worship of the English Puritans, by Horton Davies.
