An Evangelical Orthodox Guide to Christian Theology

This book shows how the Word of God teaches the Trinity-in the Old Testament as well as the new, in direct statements and in subtle details, in familiar passages and in passages you never realized... Thus, the title of this book is An Evangelical Orthodox Guide to Christian Theology. The book is "evangelical," in the sense of the early Reformers who were called by that name, being focused on the "evangel," the gospel of salvation through faith in the work of Jesus Christ. It is "orthodox," in the sense of upholding the right doctrine of the historic church as set forth in the Bible. And it is a "guide," in the sense of leading the reader into the depths of God's revelation. This book also strikes a balance between biblical piety and academics. It presents us with Christian orthodoxy as an exciting and important challenge to live the biblical life honestly and vigorously. This book is a good contribution to the continuing charge to keep biblical faith alive in this present world. The author exhorts us all to godliness and humble submission to God. The doctrine that God wants His church to believe and teach consists of those doctrinal truths clearly and explicitly stated in Scripture, and my comments are intended to point people to what the Bible says. Some may wonder why, time and again, I quote the Bible and then restate what it clearly says. My reason for doing that is to emphasize the fact that God wants us to learn and teach what He has said, not some man's explanation of what He has said.
