Evangelical Theology: Audio Lectures

A Biblical and Systematic Introduction

By: Michael F. Bird

Narrated by: Michael F. Bird

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Evangelical Theology: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

Evangelical Theology: Audio Lectures, presents systematic theology from the unique perspective of a biblical scholar. Author and scholar Michael Bird contends that the center, unity, and boundary of the evangelical faith is the evangel, or gospel, as opposed to doctrines like justification by faith or inerrancy.

The evangel is the unifying thread in evangelical theology and the theological hermeneutic through which the various loci of theology need to be understood, thus these lectures present an approach to Christian doctrine that begins with the gospel and sees each loci through the lens of the gospel.

Filled with vibrant illustrations and humor that will keep viewers engaged as they learn the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith, Evangelical Theology: Audio Lectures is an ideal way for beginning students and laypeople to explore theology.

Theologically Rich and Challenging

I have thoroughly enjoyed this lecture series. Dr. Bird clearly and concisely describes evangelical theology without compromising the integrity of the Gospel it is founded on. His wit and humor are fun and enjoyable. The content is weighty, but anyone can listen to this and be educated, enriched, and more equipped to understand the basic tenets of the Church and the Gospel’s centrality in the daily Christian life.

Great and simple introduction

Amazing lectures with a casual audience in mind. Perfect entry point for a layman to have a comprehensive understanding on Christian belief.

Great Overview

I loved Bird’s focus on the essentials and his ability to hold my attention even while driving (and it’s theology!) His only difficult to follow section was on gender. I would recommend this to anyone interested in Christianity, and I might use it with some disciples.

evangelical magupolos!!

didn't treat you like a dummy had to do homework! made you think .made me want to do my own magulopis..

Dr. Bird knocks it out of the park!

I've read several systematic theologies, and this is my favorite. The author author presents all the major views on each issue and is open about any biases he has. The result is a very informative, broad, primer to systematic theology that is, as far as I know, unrivaled.

While Dr. Bird covers most of the major topics, he does so in a way that is very approachable. A Christian who is serious about their faith will find the content easy to grasp. On the other hand, I think this would be an excellent text for a master's level introduction to systematic theology course. Dr. Bird manages this balance of approachability and depth in a way that few others do.

Whether you're Reformed, Pentecostal, Anglican, or Baptist, I think you will likely enjoy these informative and engaging lectures. The breadth of appeal is a testament to the great work Dr. Bird has done here.
