Length: 11 hrs and 10 mins

Publisher's summary

Many people react negatively to the word theology, believing that it involves dry, fruitless arguments about minute points of doctrine. Yet as Dr. R.C. Sproul argues, everyone is a theologian. Any time we think about a teaching of the Bible and strive to understand it, we are engaging in theology. Therefore, it is important that we put the Bible's varied teachings together in a systematic fashion, using proper, time-tested methods of interpretation so as to arrive at a theology that is founded on truth.

That is precisely what Dr. Sproul does in Everyone's a Theologian: An Introduction to Systematic Theology. This book is anything but a dry discussion of minute points of doctrine. Dr. Sproul, demonstrating his trademark ability to make complex subjects easy to understand, surveys the basic truths of the Christian faith, reminding us once more of what God is like and of what He has done for His people in this world and the next.

Masterful

Beyond my expectations. Theology for the layman as well as the professional. A concise summary for defense of the faith.

The truth will set you Free.

I am still a student of the Word of God, and the Spirit in me helps me know the truth and this is it.

Deep and impactful

Would you consider the audio edition of Everyone's a Theologian to be better than the print version?

I would, although I didn't read the print version.

Any additional comments?

There's just a lot to digest, but I think it helps explain some rather complicated concepts in an understandable way. I will read other Sproul books.

A Great Follow Up

to my reading of Karl Barth's Evangelical Theology, in which he puts forth the very same proposition as this book: everyone must face the big questions and is, by default, a theologian of one degree or another. Sproul obviously takes the theist stance here and makes good defense of it. Such books are very important now, given the easy, breezy (and overly simplistic and just plain biased) attacks on theism that come through the channels of the "new atheism" (think Dawkins, Dennett, Harris and Hitchens). It is time for theists to start thinking again, open a book, and learn why the new wave atheists are wrong in their facile and one-sided approach to the deeper questions.

Great book

I cannot recommend this book enough it gives a quick look into systematic theology. If you are trying to start reading about systematic theology this is the book for you.

Amazing profound truth

Loved the book and the wisdom that R. C. Sproul shares. Will have to go back and reread because there’s so much knowledge to gain and understand.

learned a ton

I don’t agree with everything he said. I think Craig Keener, with all the data he accumulated, would have a lot to discuss with Dr. Sproul. Nonetheless, I am grateful to Dr. Sproul for the valuable knowledge I gained from him.

Every Christian Should Hear/Read This Book

This book is a must for every Christian. All of the basics needed for a full understanding of theology and Christianity are here in one convenient place.

Knowledge of the Word

If you’re looking for more depth in your studies of the true Word of God, this is a must read!

Thorough, Detailed Study

My niece gave me R.C. Sproul's Systematic Theology for Christmas. I listened to the first chapter and realized that I needed Introduction to Systematic Theology. That's what this is. I listen to a chapter every morning. I usually repeat the chapters three times, because there's a lot of content, and I want to truly own it. It is so interesting I enjoy it every time. I'm also just beginning a master's degree in Theology. This study is at that level. LOVE IT!
