This book offers readers a tour de force of the Christian canon, taking readers through both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible and expounding upon the various tenets of Christianity. Early in the book, Boyce sequentially examines the traits of God and their purpose in the wider context of the faith, explaining the virtues and commands of the Lord with adept and lucid understanding. Topics such as the creation of Man and Adam's subsequent fall from grace in the Garden of Eden are given much thought, with the nature of sin revealed in detail. Boyce's discussions of these crucial attributes of Biblical lore are followed by a deep examination of the New Testament and the life of Jesus Christ. Various theories concerning Christ's atonement and other actions are compared, giving the reader a firm overview of Gospel study, while the notion of sin in the context of Christ's death and resurrection is likewise considered. A sublime constant throughout this work is Boyce's mastery of the Biblical canon. His assertions are supported by citations of Biblical passages, allowing the reader to follow his explanations closely by keeping a Bible to hand for reference. Many of the more difficult to grasp doctrines of Christianity are soundly revealed by Boyce, whose thorough yet accessible style acts to ably enlighten the receptive reader. After absorbing this work in full, the reader will be versed on many of the most important topics of Christian theology. Decades of Biblical study and intense research of past theologians made Boyce a leading authority of his time - as such, it is no exaggeration to call the Abstract of Systematic Theology a spiritual classic.
Download or read book Loving God through the Truth Second Edition written by Mark Kim and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word theology is often construed by many as referring to a very dry and academic discipline only reserved for the professional clergy and seminary professors. Many lay Christians in the church are intimidated by the subject and feel it to be a tedious intellectual exercise that is of no use for their spiritual growth and mission of the church. In an attempt to address this concern, Mark Kim presents here an introductory systematic theology that deals with the core doctrinal topics of Christianity that is accessible for the average layperson. The work will engage heavily with Scripture and the voices of the past and present who have contributed to the total theological voice of the church at large. In this second edition of the work, there is included an extra chapter on the doctrine of the Christian life. As pointed out in the first edition of the work, theology should foremost be practical in its results and application. The author addresses this concern by including a new chapter discussing the nature of the Christian life and how Christians should live in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem is one of the most important resources for helping you understand Scripture and grow as a Christian. The most widely used resource of the last 25 years in its area, Systematic Theology has been thoroughly revised and expanded for the first time while retaining the features that have made it the standard in its field: clear explanations, an emphasis on each doctrine's scriptural basis, and practical applications to daily life. With nearly 250 pages of new content and revisions, this new edition now includes the following distinctive features: Updated analysis of recent controversies within evangelical theology, including the eternal relationship between the Father and the Son in the Trinity, the role of women in the church, miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit, and contemporary worship music. New discussion and critiques of recent theological controversies situated outside of traditional evangelical theology, such as open theism, the "new perspective on Paul," Molinism (or "middle knowledge"), "Free Grace" theology, and the preterist view of Christ's second coming. Completely revised chapter on the clarity of Scripture. Completely revised chapter on creation and evolution, including a longer critique of theistic evolution and an extensive discussion on the age of the earth. New discussion of how biblical inerrancy applies to some specific "problem verses" in the Gospels. Additional material explaining evangelical Protestant differences with Roman Catholicism, Protestant liberalism, and Mormonism. Completely updated bibliographies. All Scripture quotations updated from RSV to ESV. Updated section on contemporary worship music. Numerous other updates and corrections. Part of the brilliance of Systematic Theology has been its simplicity and ease of use. Each chapter follows the same structure: discussion of the doctrine being considered, an explanation of that doctrine's biblical support and possible objections, followed by personal application and key terms to know for personal growth. Chapters also include a Scripture memory passage, references to other literature on the topic, and suggested hymns and worship songs. If you think theology is hard to understand or boring, then this new edition of Systematic Theology will change your mind.

Download or read book Systematic Theology Vol 1 3 written by Augustus Hopkins Strong and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-16 with total page 2894 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Systematic Theology" in 3 volumes is one of the best-known works by the American Baptist minister and theologian Augustus Hopkins Strong. This carefully crafted Good Press ebook is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Excerpt: "Under the influence of Ritschl and his Kantian relativism, many of our teachers and preachers have swung off into a practical denial of Christ's deity and of his atonement. We seem upon the verge of a second Unitarian defection that will break up churches and compel secessions, in a worse manner than did that of Channing and Ware a century ago. American Christianity recovered from that disaster only by vigorously asserting the authority of Christ and the inspiration of the Scriptures. We need a new vision of the Savior like that which Paul saw on the way to Damascus and John saw on the isle of Patmos, to convince us that Jesus is lifted above space and time, that his existence antedated creation, that he conducted the march of Hebrew history, that he was born of a virgin, suffered on the cross, rose from the dead, and now lives forevermore, the Lord of the universe, the only God with whom we have to do, our Savior here and our Judge hereafter. Without a revival of this faith our churches will become secularized, mission enterprise will die out, and the candlestick will be removed out of its place as it was with the seven churches of Asia, and as it has been with the apostate churches of New England."

Download or read book Systematic Theology written by Paul Tillich and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first part of Paul Tillich's three-volume Systematic Theology, one of the most profound statements of the Christian message ever composed and the summation and definitive presentation of the theology of the most influential and creative American theologian of the twentieth century. In this path-breaking volume Tillich presents the basic method and statement of his system—his famous "correlation" of man's deepest questions with theological answers. Here the focus is on the concepts of being and reason. Tillich shows how the quest for revelation is integral to reason itself. In the same way a description of the inner tensions of being leads to the recognition that the quest for God is implied in finite being. Here also Tillich defines his thought in relation to philosophy and the Bible and sets forth his famous doctrine of God as the "Ground of Being." Thus God is understood not as a being existing beside other beings, but as being-itself or the power of being in everything. God cannot be made into an object; religious knowledge is, therefore, necessarily symbolic.
