Similar: (1) ESV Study Bible, (2) A Body of Divinity by Thomas Watson plus (3) any bible dictionary. If you are a new convert, you probably won’t need a theological dictionary just yet. :) Can’t find ANY good single-volume Bible commentary. This doesn’t exist! No such thing. By the way, the best book by book commentary I have ever used is GJ Wenham’s on Leviticus.

Thanks for this! I am a fan of one volume books like these! I picked up Matthew Henry's commentary in one volume for $15 at Lifeway while they were closing their retail stores. I love having things in one volume that's easy to use. Question, if you do not mind. Have you thought about doing "Ask Pastor Everhard" type videos? I think that would be awesome! You're such a great teacher! God bless brother!

As a Reformed Baptist, Grudem's Systematic Theology was a good shout out, it's a great work. However, I will warn anyone NOT to get the condensed version titled "Bible Doctrine" as it has a lot of the real meat of his systematic work and argumentation removed to save pages, which makes a lot of the conclusions he comes to confusing and seemingly unsupported (though when you check the massive full volume you find it's actually quite sound)
@matthewbuttner79605 жыл бұрын
Great recommendations as always. In addition to the ones you mentioned, I think the New Bible Dictionary and the New Bible Commentary are both great one volume references that are helpful for Bible teachers. Great scholars involved in them.

I think that knowing theology and having a depth of understanding God's word is important for all Christians. I suspect that the biggest issue is that Christians in my sector of denomination/city- especially women... are theological weenies. I used to be one, so I know. We don't have to be sanctioned to teach men with authority in order to learn about the holy scriptures! Thank you for this.

@danbrown5863 жыл бұрын
At its most basic level, systematic theology categorizes and correlates biblical teaching into (ideally) a single cohesive and organized unit. Major divisions often include theology proper (i.e., the doctrine of God himself), anthropology (the doctrine of man), soteriology (the doctrine of salvation), etc. Theology proper would include discussion of the attributes of God, how they are defined, which of them are unique to God. And so forth. When it's done well, it doesn't go beyond or outside scripture, but it categorizes scripture's teaching by topic.

I do not trust any guide (reference) book that is not (a) Lutheran; or (b) Reformerd; or (c) Eastern Orthodox. (Good Orthodox sources cover Romanism, so Roman Catholicism is only a sort of halfl-category). I loathe Millennialism. I loathe ehthusiasm for mod trends within demoninalinationism. I loathe charismatic idiocy. I loathe the sects and the cults.
