Knowing God's Truth

An Accessible Guide to Systematic Theology from Pastor Jon Nielson  When you consider theology, you may think of confusing, lofty terminology that only concerns scholars and pastors. But in reality, theology is for anyone who wants to better understand God and learn more about the Bible. Theology-the study of God and his word-should be personal, accessible, and worshipful.  Pastor Jon Nielson has written Knowing God's Truth, a part of the Theology Basics series, to make systematic theology clear, meaningful, and practical for those looking for a highly accessible guide to studying God. In this introduction, Nielson defines systematic theology as 'theological study done in a highly organized, topical way' and covers the 12 basic categories-Scripture, man, sin, church, and more. He also helps readers learn to apply theology in their everyday lives by integrating invitations to pray and meditate on what they've learned. - Clear Language and Easy-to-Follow Methods: Ideal for new Christians, students, or anyone wanting a highly accessible guide to systematic theology; perfect for individual or group study - Application: Each chapter includes 'Stop and Pray' breaks, verses to memorize, and key themes to review  - Part of the Theology Basics Series: A collection of books and study guides to introduce students to systematic theology, biblical theology, and how to read the Bible - Companion Workbook and Video Series Sold Separately: Invites further interaction with the text and integrate their study with application
