We Are All Theologians

Who wants to be a theologian? Many people react negatively to the word theology because they believe it refers to dry and unproductive discussions about the minutiae of Christian doctrine. They prefer to focus on the basic truths of Scripture; they might even say, "I have no creed, I just believe in Christ."

 

However, as Dr. R.C. Sproul presents it, we are all theologians. Every time we think about a teaching from the Bible and try to understand it, we are engaged in theology. That's why it's important that we put together the different teachings of the Bible in a systematic way and that we do so using time-tested methods of interpretation. In that way, we will come to formulate a theology that is consistent and founded on truth.

 

The title of the book is a serious invitation to the reader to exercise their capacity as a theologian. Sometimes we think of theology as a cold exercise by someone locked in an office with a mountain of volumes around them. We don't doubt that such reflection has its value, and surely our author has dedicated many hours to that desk work!

 

That is precisely what Dr. R.C. Sproul does in "Everyone's a Theologian." The book you hold in your hands is not a dry discussion about the minutiae of Christian doctrine. The author demonstrates his ability to make complex topics understandable. He leads us to a glimpse of the basic truths of the Christian faith, reminding us who God is and what He has done for His people in this world and the world to come.

 

Dr. Sproul will guide you through the different areas of theology: anthropology and creation, Christology, pneumatology, soteriology, ecclesiology, and eschatology.
