Bible Doctrine · Essential Teachings of the Christian Faith

The Christian church has a long tradition of systematic theology, that is, of studying biblical teaching on centrally important doctrines such as the Word of God, redemption, and Jesus Christ. Wayne Grudem's bestselling *Systematic Theology* has several distinctive features:

A strong emphasis on the scriptural basis for each doctrine

Clear writing, with technical terms kept to a minimum

A contemporary approach, treating subjects of special interest to the church today

A friendly tone, appealing to the emotions and the spirit as well as the intellect

Frequent application to life

Resources for worship within each chapter

Bibliographies in each chapter that cross-reference subjects to a wide range of other systematic theologies.
