Doctrine not only equips you with more knowledge about God, it also shapes your affections toward him and directs your actions for him―but it can be difficult to know where to begin.
This concise handbook, developed from John MacArthur’s larger work Biblical Doctrine, is an entry point for studying theological topics such as the Bible, the Holy Spirit, the church, and more. As MacArthur walks through the essentials of the Christian faith doctrine by doctrine, he’ll not only encourage your heart and mind, but also empower you to proclaim the faith that was “once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3).
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 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!
