God

By: Malcolm B Yarnell III

Narrated by: Malcolm B Yarnell III

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.

Theology proper centers on God, exploring his existence, his divine nature, his Persons, and his attributes. In this book you will find an overview of these truths in the doctrine of God as well as other great truths in the doctrine of divine revelation.

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.

God is the first volume of a three-part series entitled Theology for Every Person. The other volumes will include God’s Word to the World, which considers God in Christ and his works of creation, humanity, and redemption, and God’s Work in the World, which explores God the Holy Spirit and the divine works of salvation, the church, and the end.

Great introduction to theology

I loved the accessibility of this book. It’s got several deep themes that are presented in a way for people without theological degrees can absorb. There are breakdowns of Hebrew and Greek words that help the reader to digest and even apply their meanings. I also liked the study/application section at the end of each chapter. Those will help capture the main ideas of each section and aid in reflecting on major points. Finally, I appreciated how Dr. Yarnell himself read the book. His reading is clear and the pitch and tone are lively with proper emphasis that helps the listener engage with the material. (He keeps you awake!) I highly recommend the audiobook!
