An explanation of that doctrine's biblical support and possible objections follow. Personal application and key terms to know for personal growth are then provided. Chapters also include a Scripture memory passage, references to other literature on the topic, and suggested hymns and worship songs.If you are someone who thinks theology is hard to understand or boring, then this new edition of Systematic Theology will likely change your mind.
