Many people react negatively to the word theology, believing that it
involves dry, fruitless arguments about minute points of doctrine. Yet
as Dr. R.C. Sproul argues, everyone is a theologian. Any time we think
about a teaching of the Bible and strive to understand it, we are
engaging in theology. Therefore, it is important that we put the Bible’s
varied teachings together in a systematic fashion, using proper,
time-tested methods of interpretation so as to arrive at a theology that
is founded on truth.
That is precisely what Dr. Sproul does in
Everyone’s a Theologian: An Introduction to Systematic Theology. This
book is anything but a dry discussion of minute points of doctrine. Dr.
Sproul, demonstrating his trademark ability to make complex subjects
easy to understand, surveys the basic truths of the Christian faith,
reminding us once more of what God is like and of what He has done for
His people in this world and the next.
Review
Have you ever wanted Christian theology made simple? R.C. Sproul
has the gift of making things simple without dumbing them down. Like a
father teaching his child to swim, he can bring us into waters too deep
for us touch bottom, but he won t let us drown. So I invite you to jump
into this pool of the knowledge of God. Whether you want to learn more
about what makes the Bible different, who God is, why Christ died, how
the Holy Spirit works in a person s soul, or what happens on judgment
day, in these pages you will find clear answers from a wise teacher.
