An Accessible Guide to Systematic Theology from Pastor Jon Nielson
When you consider theology, you may think of confusing, lofty terminology that only concerns scholars and pastors. But in reality, theology is for anyone who wants to better understand God and learn more about the Bible. Theology--the study of God and his word--should be personal, accessible, and worshipful.
Pastor Jon Nielson has written Knowing God's Truth, a part of the Theology Basics series, to make systematic theology clear, meaningful, and practical for those looking for a highly accessible guide to studying God. In this introduction, Nielson defines systematic theology as "theological study done in a highly organized, topical way" and covers the 12 basic categories--Scripture, man, sin, church, and more. He also helps readers learn to apply theology in their everyday lives by integrating invitations to pray and meditate on what they've learned.
