Doctrine

I’ve just been reading a book on theology. No surprises there, perhaps; but ‘Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe’ is no dry, academic book on theology. Written by Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears, this book has come out of the Mars Hill stable. Mars Hill Church in Seattle is a remarkable combination of biblical preaching and contemporary style.

He is not easy listening either for traditionalists or modernists; but he certainly makes me think.

This new book on ‘Doctrine’ has a structure that gets right to the heart of theology. Theology is about God. It is not about proving that there is a God; nor is it about our responses to the world around us. It is simply a bringing together of the great themes and strands of revelation, without which there can be no theology. Read the rest HERE
