WHAT IS THEOLOGY?

By Richard Carey Jr

What if theology was not as complicated as it sounds?

For many people, the word theology brings to mind classrooms, thick textbooks, difficult words, and questions meant only for pastors or scholars. But theology begins with something much simpler:

What do you believe about God-and why?

What Is Theology? is the first volume in the Knowing God Through the Story series, a twelve-volume journey through the major truths of the Christian faith.

Through the everyday conversations and experiences of Beau, Alexa, and their teenage children-Nichole, Levi, and Robin-readers begin discovering that everyone already has ideas about God, Scripture, truth, life, suffering, and purpose. The real question is whether those ideas are shaped by God's Word or simply by assumptions, culture, experience, and imagination.

Without feeling like a textbook, this volume introduces readers to foundational questions such as:

- What is theology, and why does it matter?
- Can we really know God?
- How has God revealed Himself?
- What can creation tell us about Him?
- Why is the Bible different from other books?
- What does it mean that Scripture is inspired?
- Can we trust the Bible that has been handed down to us?
- Why were certain books included in Scripture?
- How does context help us understand difficult passages?
- What are biblical, systematic, historical, and practical theology?
- How does the whole Bible fit together as one unfolding story?

Along the way, readers encounter creation, the fall, covenant, kingdom, promise, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the great story that runs from Genesis to Revelation.

Written in clear, accessible English for teenagers, new believers, longtime Christians who want stronger foundations, and readers around the world, What Is Theology? keeps serious biblical doctrine without making it unnecessarily difficult.

This is more than an introduction to theology.

It is the beginning of learning how to know God, understand His Word, think biblically, ask better questions, and build a faith strong enough to grow.

And by the end, one question naturally leads to the next:

Who is the God we are learning to know?
