Theology for Life: A Joy-Filled Introduction to Christian Doctrine

In a world overflowing with to-do lists and self-help manuals, where pragmatism has a strong gravitational pull, it may feel like spending time in contemplation of the beauty and glory of the Lord is at best impractical and at worst irresponsible. After all, there is so much to do . Yet before we can adequately serve God, we must actually know God. With an eye toward the purpose for which we were made--to know God and enjoy Him forever-- Theology for Life unpacks ten crucial doctrines of the Christian faith, including · the Trinity · God's attributes · Scripture · justification · union with Christ · and more After explaining each doctrine in an insightful and accessible manner, author and professor Ronni Kurtz helps us see how to delight in that doctrine and allow it to shape us into the people God wants us to be. With chapters touching on God's perfection, love, justice, protection, provision, and more, this book helps you apply sound theology to everyday life.
