A Concise Summary of Biblical Truth by John MacArthur
Doctrine not only equips Christians with more knowledge about God, it also shapes their affections toward him and directs their actions for him. This concise handbook of Christian doctrine was developed to teach the truths of Scripture and help Christians apply those truths. Systematizing the robust theology that has served as the foundation for John MacArthur’s well-known preaching ministry for half a century, this resource surveys theological topics such as the Bible, the Holy Spirit, salvation, the church, and more. With discussion questions at the end of each chapter, readers will engage with the pillars of Christian orthodoxy in a way that will encourage their hearts, inform their minds, and direct their actions as they seek to proclaim the faith that was “once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3).
528 pages.
In short - read this book and you won’t feel intimidated when someone brings up “systematic theology”. One doesn’t need to feel overwhelmed by the amount of pages here - I got through a few pages each day over the past 5 weeks and it didn’t feel like a chore. MacArthur and the crew have made this a very easy book to read and understand, even for myself who is a relatively new believer (2 and a half years). Most doctrinal topics would be covered in this volume, but there's an even more comprehensive version called “Christian Doctrine” if that’s what you’re looking for. I’ll be referring back to this book for years to come, and now feel a bit more equipped to jump into other systematic theology titles. A good buy!
