description: Theologythe study of Godis a concern for every believer not just theologians or those in ministry. It's the goal of good theology to humble us before the triune God of majesty as we come to understand him better. This is a book of and about good theology . Award-winning author theologian and professor Michael Horton wrote The Christian Faith as a book of systematic theology and doctrine that can be preached experienced and lived as well as understood clarified and articulated. It's written for a growing cast of pilgrimsin ministry and laitywho are interested in learning about Christ as a way of living as a Christian. Who understand that knowing doctrine and walking in practical Christianity are not competing interests. The Christian Faith is divided into six parts five of which each focus on an aspect of God while the first part sets up an understanding and appreciation for the task of theology itself addressing topics In a manner equally as welcoming to professors pastors students and armchair theologians; Horton has organized this volume in a readable fashion that includes a variety of learning At the heart of this book is a deep love for and curiosity about God. Its basic argument is that a personal relationship with God goes hand in hand with the pursuit of theology. It isn't possible to know God without studying him.
