We may not think of ourselves as theologians, but the truth is, anytime we think about a teaching of Scripture and seek to understand it, we are engaging in theology, which refers to the study of God. In this book, Dr. Sproul surveys the basic truths of the Christian faith, explaining what God is like and what He has done for His people. This introduction to systematic theology includes sections on the doctrines of Christology (Christ), pneumatology (the Holy Spirit), soteriology (salvation), ecclesiology (the church), and eschatology (last things).
No event in our lives could be more significant than our conversion to Christ. But what happens next, after we become Christians? What do we need to know, and how do we grow in grace? The following resources, curated by the Ligonier editorial team, can assist new Christians in learning the Bible and Christian doctrine so that they might live a life of love for God and others.
