I read it and took detailed notes. It had been years since I finished high school Bible classes, so I needed to relearn all the concepts. This book is very clear and straightforward. Every chapter's length is just right. I understood everything except for one or two tiny concepts (but figured them out with my pastor). I also like how it explains different perspectives, so it makes me think -- how does God speak to everyone differently? And how do I make judgments in the future? Etc. I've recommended this to a lot of people.
Also like how he makes sure that we focus on the biggest message(s): His love, His grace, and His glory, as opposed to focusing on tiny things like speculating mystical experiences. It's been 6 months since I finished, and this book truly brought in new perspectives in a lot of discussions with others.

I have a number of reformed theology/doctrine books and wondered if I needed this but I am a RC Sproule fan and am so glad I bought this. If you are new to reading such books, you need this book, if you have read such books for decades, you need this book. RC Sproule really was a gifted teacher of Gods word and able to help his listeners and readers understrand deep doctrinal/biblical truths. He is always fresh, helpful and bible centred. This book will do you so much good, essential reading for all Christians!

Insightful. Theological. Profound. This 357 page, 60 chapter book, is packed full of theological teaching and truth. Written for the non-seminarian, every reader will gain tremendous understanding of the Bible, God, and many other major theological positions held by the historical evangelical church. Though this is no light-weight book, it is accessible. Without the expense of a first year seminary class, every Christian could pick up a copy of this book and greatly benefit in spiritual growth and renewing of their mind. The teaching gift of R.C. Sproul is truly amazing and God-given. He is able to take 60 major concepts and simplify the truths for the average person to grasp and pack it all in a relatively small book. Each of the chapters could be an expanded book by itself. I believe every Christian should have a copy in their library and reference it often.
The sections and chapters include:
PART ONE: INTRODUCTION
Chapter 1 What Is Theology
Chapter 2 The Scope and Purpose of Theology
Chapter 3 General Revelation and Natural Theology
Chapter 4 Special Revelation
Chapter 5 The Inspiration and Authority of...

Dave Jenkins:
Many people, including Christians downplay the importance of theology in their lives. For example, it’s not uncommon to hear a Christian say, “I don’t have a theology”, or something of similar effect. This is not only untrue it’s dangerous. Doctrine comes from the Bible and the application of our doctrine is theology. Believing that theology is only for those who are in the ivory tower of academia who emphasize minute points of doctrine isn’t the point of theology. Everyone is a theologian—the question is whether they are a good one or a bad one. In Dr. Sproul’s new book Everyone’s a Theologian An Introduction to Systematic Theology he takes on many popular ideas of theology and seeks to help his reader understand not only what particular theological terms mean but also why they are significant to our lives. Written in his usual easy to read style, this book is a true blessing and treasure trove for the church.
The book has eight sections. Each section takes a major doctrine such as what is theology, Scripture, theology proper, anthropology and creation, Christology, pneumatology, soteriology, ecclesiology, and eschatology. As Dr. Sproul...

Easy to read, short chapters make this book a great devotional and a stalwart affirmation of faith. Great guide if you’re “searching”, experiencing God’s call, or just love the Lord’s truth.
