How do we know that the Bible is the Word of God? What is sin, and where did it come from? How is it that Jesus is fully God and fully man? What are spiritual gifts? When and how will Christ return? If you find yourself asking questions like these, systematic theology is not just an abstract term - it is a way to seek the answers that every Christian should know.

This book is a compendium of the highly recommended Systematic Theology by Grudem, which covers the same essential questions of the faith, providing you with a firm understanding of seven key topics: The Doctrine of the Word of God, The Doctrine of God, The Doctrine of Man, The Doctrines of Christ and the Holy Spirit, The Doctrine of the Application of Redemption, The Doctrine of the Church, and The Doctrine of the Future.

Like Systematic Theology, this book is characterized by its clarity, its strong spiritual emphasis, its attention to detail, and its reference to current topics such as spiritual warfare and the gifts of the Spirit. However, you do not need several years of biblical study to fully benefit from Biblical Doctrine, as it is easy to understand and provides solid biblical answers to your most important questions.

The doctrine of the Word of God examines how we can be certain that the Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, and not simply the words of fallible human authors. The doctrine of God explores the nature, attributes, and works of the triune God, including His sovereignty, holiness, and love. The doctrine of man delves into the creation, nature, and fall of humanity, as well as the impact of sin and the need for redemption.

The doctrines of Christ and the Holy Spirit focus on the person and work of Jesus, the incarnate Son of God, as well as the role and ministry of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. The doctrine of the application of redemption explains how the benefits of Christ's work are applied to individual believers through the process of salvation, including justification, sanctification, and glorification.

The doctrine of the church examines the nature, purpose, and mission of the body of Christ, including the sacraments, spiritual gifts, and the church's relationship to Israel. Finally, the doctrine of the future covers the last things, such as the second coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, and the eternal state of believers and unbelievers.

By exploring these seven key theological topics, Biblical Doctrine provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the essential truths of the Christian faith. Whether you are a new believer or a seasoned student of the Bible, this book will equip you with a solid foundation for understanding and living out your faith.
