The Moody Handbook of Theology leads the beginner into the appreciation and understanding
of this essential field of study. It introduces the reader to the five dimensions that
provide a comprehensive view of theology: biblical, systematic, historical, dogmatic and
contemporary.
The apostle Paul wrote that all Scripture is "profitable for
teaching" (2 Tim. 3:16), that Timothy should "pay close attention to...your
teaching" (1 Tim. 4:16), and that leaders should "be able both to exhort in
sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict" (Titus 1:9). When he wrote these
statements, Paul was referring to theology.
Beyond giving basic definitions and general descriptions, author Paul Enns summarized
the substantial features of theology. In this way, he provides a concise doctrinal
reference tool for the newcomer as well as the seasoned scholar seeking a refresher. There
are fifty-five informative charts located at strategic points throughout the book.
