J. T. English, Jen WilkinHardback 2023-07-18
The goal of theology is knowing and loving God well. It is a lifelong journey, a never-ending pursuit, not for knowledge that puffs up but with God as the prize. This book invites you to become more than a mere consumer of theology, but a contributor to the conversation about God.
Publisher Description
:Theology can be intimidating. Perhaps questions like these have kept you from engaging with it: "What is theology?" "Who does theology?" "What happens if I get something wrong?"
The goal of this book, and of theology, is knowing and loving God well. This is a lifelong journey, a never-ending pursuit, not for knowledge that puffs up but with God as the prize. Authors Jen Wilkin and J.T. English invite you to become more than a mere consumer of theology, but a contributor to the conversation about God.
You are a theologian.
You Are a Theologian addresses theological questions such as: * Who is God? - The Doctrine of God
- What is God like? - The Attributes of God
- What is the Bible? - The Doctrine of Scripture
- Who are we? - The Doctrine of Humanity
- What went wrong? - The Doctrine of Sin
- What has God done? - The Doctrines of Christ, Salvation, and the Holy Spirit
- To whom do we belong? - The Doctrine of the Church
- How does the story end? - The Doctrine of Last Things
AWARDS:
"For many Christians, the word “theologian” conjures up images of stuffy libraries and bespectacled sages. Jen Wilkin and J. T. English want to change that. Everybody who bears the name of Jesus, they contend, also bears the title of theologian—a God talker. With wisdom and warmth, they break down the “ologies”—Christology, soteriology, ecclesiology, eschatology, and more—for everyday believers. Learn about who God is, how he’s revealed himself, how he views sin, what he’s done to redeem his people, and how he plans to make all things new. This is a brilliant book for beginners—and for all people who know they’re always beginning in their understanding of God. You Are a Theologian should become a staple resource for church discipleship programs." – The Gospel Coalition 2023 Book Awards, Award of Distinction, Judges Joshua Chatman, Clarissa Moll, Juan Sánchez, and Matt Smethurst.
