MORE ABOUT THE BOOK:

Knowing, loving, and worshiping God is the call and privilege of every disciple of Jesus. Because all Christians are part of his royal priesthood, theology is not just for those teaching in the academy or serving in ministry vocations.

Theologian and author, Malcolm B. Yarnell, writes in his new book, God (B&H Publishing Group, March 5), “The first theologian to argue that the Bible should be in every person’s language also argued theology is not merely for professional scholars. I agree with Erasmus of Rotterdam: Scripture is for everyone, so theology is for everyone.”

 

Theology proper centers on God, exploring his existence, his divine nature, his Persons, and his attributes. In God, Yarnell shares an overview of these truths in the doctrine of God as well as other great truths in the doctrine of divine revelation.

 

“You are not simply setting out on a journey toward deeper knowledge,” says Yarnell. “If theological study only results in knowing abstract truths about God, then we have not done theology well. Right theology invariably leads to right living and right worship, and this is our ultimate goal in these books and in this life.”

 

God is the first volume of a three-part series entitled Theology for Every Person. The other volumes will include God’s Word to the World, which considers God in Christ and his works of creation, humanity, and redemption, and God’s Work in the World, which explores God the Holy Spirit and the divine works of salvation, the church, and the end.

 

“This series is intended to help equip every Christian with their God-given call to serve God as a theologian,” writes Yarnell. “In other words, it is for you as a follower of Christ Jesus, whatever the other roles you fulfill in life.”
