Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology is an indispensable resource for many Christians, and it is required reading in numerous courses on biblical theology - and there is a good reason for this. The textbook's emphasis on the scriptural basis for each doctrine, coupled with its clear writing and contemporary approach, make it a valuable asset.

To make the work more accessible, this series presents each of the seven main parts that comprise the 1,600-page Systematic Theology as a separate book, rendering it more portable, affordable, and less daunting for readers.

Part 1 of this series, titled "Making Sense of the Bible," introduces readers to several important topics, including:

The Canon of Scripture: the list of all books that rightfully belong in the Bible. The Authority of Scripture: the belief that all words in Scripture are God's words, as the Bible itself claims. The Clarity of Scripture: the notion that the Bible is written in a manner that allows its teachings to be understood by all who read it. The Necessity of Scripture: the idea that the Bible is necessary for the knowledge of the gospel. The Sufficiency of Scripture: the belief that Scripture contains all the words of God that he intended his people to have.

Written in a friendly and engaging tone, this volume appeals not only to the intellect but also to the emotions and the spirit of the reader. By helping readers overcome misconceptions and make better decisions on new questions, "Making Sense of the Bible" encourages growth and understanding among Christians.
