Knowing, loving, and worshiping God is the call and privilege of every disciple of Jesus. Because all Christians are part of his royal priesthood, theology is not just for those teaching in the academy or serving in ministry vocations.

You are not simply setting out on a journey toward deeper knowledge. If theological study only results in knowing abstract truths about God, then we have not done theology well. Right theology invariably leads to right living and right worship, and this is our ultimate goal in these books and in this life.

This book focuses on God in Christ and his works of creation, humanity, and redemption. He is God made flesh, the revelation of God to us. To know Christ is to know God.

Word is the second volume of a three-part series entitled Theology for Every Person. The first volume, God, released in 2024 and focuses on God’s existence, nature, Persons, and attributes, and the forthcoming third and final volume, Spirit, which explores God the Holy Spirit and the divine works of salvation, the church, and the end.
