Theology You Can Count on: Experiencing What the Bible Says About... God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, Angels, Salvation...

You don't need to be a scholar to understand theology "The Bible is written to real people facing real problems," says Tony Evans. "That's why Theology You Can Count On offers theology in bite-size nuggets: short chapters with illustrations that make theology easier to understand. Because he wants readers to apply God's Word to their lives, Dr. Evans moves beyond explaining what theology means to showing what theology does in the lives of those who embrace the teachings of Scripture--giving release from the past, power in the present, and hope for the future. Dr. Evans tackles some of the tough questions: -Why does a holy and powerful God allow evil? -If God is sovereign and has already determined everything that will happen according to what pleases Him, then why do we need to choose? -If Satan is real, how do I fight against him? His answers offer reasons, yet he acknowledges the whole counsel of God is not ours to know. Along the way, he wields story, humor, and metaphor to help us understand better the nature and plans of God and His Son, Jesus, as well as the roles of the Bible, the Holy Spirit, the church, and prophecy in declaring truth to the world in the twenty-first century. Each chapter ends with personal application as well as group questions that help you explore the subjects deeper and unlock related Scripture. The book is ideal for private or small-group study. Dr. Evans applies theology to daily life in this volume based on eight classic books from his Understanding God series. "The study of God is the most meaningful pursuit in life," he says.
