Daily Doctrine: A One-Year Guide to Systematic Theology

Book Description:

Learn Important Systematic Theology Topics Each Day with This Accessible One-Year Devotional

All thoughtful Christians want to better understand the Bible, its author, and its influence on their beliefs. In short—whether they recognize it or not—they want to understand theology. But many find the subject matter too academic, dense, or difficult to understand, and they lack proper study resources to help expand their knowledge of God and his written word.

Designed to make systematic theology clear and accessible for the everyday Christian, this devotional walks through the most important theology topics over the course of a year. Each month is categorized into broad themes, starting with the study of God and concluding with the end times. Written by bestselling author and associate professor of systematic theology Kevin DeYoung, each concise daily reading contains verses for meditation and application, building upon each other and easing readers into the study of systematic theology.

• Written for Thoughtful Christians: Offers pastors, ministry leaders, and everyday Christians access to a theologically rich yet accessible study
• One-Year Plan: Daily readings build off one another to help ease readers into systematic theology
• Covers Important Theological Topics: Each month covers a different broad theological topic, including mankind, salvation, the church, end times, and more
• Written by Kevin DeYoung: Pastor, bestselling author, and associate professor of systematic theology

Endorsements:

“You hold in your hands a smorgasbord of theological delights. Daily Doctrine is at once a daily devotional, a mini systematic theology, and a reference tool. It is deep but delightful, profound but practical, comprehensive but concise, and accurate but accessible. May the Lord use this manual to raise up more systematic theologians in our pews!”
--Joel R. Beeke, Chancellor and Professor of Homiletics and Systematic Theology, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary; Pastor, Heritage Reformed Congregation, Grand Rapids, Michigan

“A few years after I broke my neck, I wanted to know everything about God. That prompted someone to give me a thick theology textbook, which I read but had a hard time grasping. Oh, if only this fine book had been around back then! Kevin DeYoung has packaged the fundamentals of our faith in a work that is thorough, uncomplicated, and a lot lighter than your average theology book. In all my suffering, the bedrock of great doctrine has always been a comfort, and it is why I heartily recommend this one-of-a-kind work!”
--Joni Eareckson Tada, Founder and CEO, Joni and Friends International Disability Center

“In a fragmented age, connecting the dots—between the biblical text and Christian doctrine, between different Christian doctrines, and between Christian doctrines and daily life—is imperative for all Christians, and yet many simply do not have time to read and digest the great classic tomes of systematic theology. This is where this book is so helpful. Using the time-honored genre of a daily devotional, Kevin DeYoung has produced a book that looks at the great doctrines that the Bible teaches. And in doing so, he enables us to grasp more fully the beauty and significance of Christian doctrine both for Bible reading and for how we live our lives.”
--Carl R. Trueman, Professor of Biblical and Religious Studies, Grove City College; author, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self

“What a great idea! Who wouldn’t want to work through the major issues in systematic theology under the faithful teaching of Kevin DeYoung and structured as Daily Doctrine? This book will be so helpful to Christians, day by day, doctrine by doctrine, truth after truth. I am so thankful for DeYoung as a great gift to Christ’s church. You will also be thankful for this book as a conduit for truth, doctrine, and spiritual health.”
--R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
