Learning Doctrinal Vocabulary
I wrote Daily Doctrine so that there might be a resource that would help ordinary people in the church really get the best of our theological tradition. I hope to be something of a translator, not from one language to another but from one register to another.
So what I’ve tried to do in this book is read the best of the orthodox and evangelical and especially Reformed tradition, and try to take all of those multi-volume, really dense, deep, theological works and try to present them in a way so that students, pastors—ordinary people in the pews—moms, dads, and teenagers can benefit from this.
Daily Doctrine
Kevin DeYoung
To make systematic theology clear and accessible for the everyday Christian, this one-year guide breaks down important theological topics into daily readings. Each reading features concise and accessible writing and verses for meditation and application.
So much about learning doctrine is learning the vocabulary. What are the categories? What are the ways in which people have talked about these things? And I really think people can learn a lot more than we might give them credit for.
So I hope that by putting it into daily bite-sized nuggets, every Christian might be able to become a better theologian and learn to love systematic theology and grow in their understanding of it. And I hope that this book can really help people get into if not the deep end, then to wade further into the waters of God’s word.
