About

“Do you believe in God?” is usually a straightforward question to answer. “What do you believe about God?” is harder! The Bible uses narratives, laws, songs, prophecies, proverbs, and letters to tell us about God, and this book highlights mainstream evangelical systematic theology derived from its teachings. Take an opportunity to learn what doctrines the Spirit-led body of Christ has emphasized over the centuries—and become better equipped in your  understanding of God and Scripture. 

Produced by Third Millennium Ministries for a global, multilingual, evangelical audience, the books in the Christian Essentials series make highly vetted, master’s-level theology clear, personal, and accessible to a broad spectrum of readers.

Includes: 

• CHAPTER REVIEW QUESTIONS
• PRACTICAL DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
• RESOURCES FOR FURTHER STUDY
