Introductory Reading
Christianity is not about knowing a lot of things. It is about deeply knowing the
one true God in order that your whole person may be
conformed into His image.
Intermediate Reading
Grow deeper in the knowledge of God by studying how the Gospel trains us
in every area of life.
Advanced Reading
Some things God has revealed about himself are difficult to understand.
Careful study of these works will be greatly rewarding.
Systematic Theology
Systematic theology answers the question, "What does the whole Bible teach us about any given topic throughout the whole of Scripture."?
The Trinity
There is one only and true God, but in the unity of the Godhead there are three coeternal and coequal Persons, the same in substance.
The Doctrine of God
Theology proper is the sub-discipline of systematic theology which deals specifically with the being, attributes and works of God.

the good news.
Law & Gospel
The Law is for the proud and the Gospel for the brokenhearted." - Martin Luther.
Covenant Theology

Study Bibles
Like having a scholar read the Bible with you, study Bibles provide
insightful notes and clarifying articles along the way.

Classics
Following Christ's example, believers have always labored to bless
the generations which would come after them. These are some of the
finest fruits of that labor.
The Five Solas
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in the Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone
Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone)
The Reformers claimed the principle of Sola Scriptura or the all-sufficiency of Scripture was the only rule of both faith and practice.
Solus Christus (Christ Alone)
Christ stepped in, absorbed the full punishment upon himself and bore the judgment due to sinners. Having no righteousness of our own, we look to Christ alone.
Sola Gratia (Grace Alone)
God's grace in Christ is not merely necessary but is the sole efficient cause of salvation - sufficient to save to the uttermost.
Sola Fide (Faith Alone)
There is no basis for our acceptance before God except in Christ's saving work. We are only right with God by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone.
Soli Deo Gloria
All glory goes to God for who He is, all we have and for our salvation. "Let him who boast, boast in the Lord." 1 Cor 1:31
The Doctrines of Grace
All glory goes to God for who He is, all we have and for our salvation. "Let him who boast, boast in the Lord." 1 Cor 1:31
Bondage of the Will
To will is of natue. But to will aright is of grace. - Augustine
The Gospel
As all mankind was lost in Adam and became the children of wrath, Having no righteousness of our own the good news is that Christ saves all sinners who trust in Him alone.
The Atonement
"... while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." - Rom 5:8
Providence & God's Will
Providence is generally used to denote God's preserving and governing all things by means of second causes
The Christian Life
For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh - Phil 3:3
Biblical Theology
In distinction from systematic theology, biblical theology approaches the Bible as a progressive, unfolding, organic drama of God's words and acts through history .
Eschatology
The Scriptures teach that at the second coming of Christ, He will judge the world in righteousness (Ps. 9:8, Ps. 96:13, Ps. 98:9, Acts 17:31). He will come as a thief in the night and that it will be public and visible to all men, and that He will then judge men to their eternal state (Matt. 24:36-39, Matt. 25:31-46, I Thess. 5:2-4, 2 Thess. 1:7-10, Rev. 1:7, etc.) Then He hands the kingdom to God the Father and we are with Him forever and ever..
Church History
Christianity, unlike any other religion, is deeply rooted in history. Church history is vital to our understanding of the institution of the Christian church. Much is to be gleaned from the events between the time of the apostles and the present.
