All the Doctrines of the Bible (All)

Summary: A Good Starter Book, But Be Careful
Review: Here is a book that is excellent for one wanting to start studying more in depth the MANY doctrines of the Bible. We often forget how many major doctrines there are. I personally have found approximately 50 doctrines in the Bible related to salvation alone. Mr. Lockyer does a great job and will get you started, expanding your mind beyond the "milk" theology in which so many Christians remain. But be careful. He bought into the very young doctrines of premillennialism and dispensationalism, so you will find his doctrinal explanations as related to eschatology to be "newspaper" theology rather than biblical theology.

Summary: Good basic Bible doctrines book - nice place to start
Review: In 1964 Herbert Lockyer originally published "All the Doctrines of the Bible" and it has been in print ever since. While this is hardly all the doctrines that are found in the Bible by the various religious groups, it is the thirty most important doctrines that are held by pretty much all of the Christian doctrines.

The book starts with a brief introduction to how to study Christian doctrine. From there it starts into the doctrines of Divine Revelation, Divine Inspiration, God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, Angels, Satan and Demons, Man, the Covenants, Predestination, Sin, Salvation, Grace, Repentance, Regeneration, Substitution, Redemption, Reconciliation, Faith, Adoption, Assurance, Righteousness, Peace, Sanctification, Christian Ethics, Eternal Security, Prayer, the Church, and Last Things.

For each doctrine the chapter clearly defines it and follows with the development of the doctrine using specific Bible verse references. On some matters, such as baptism, it provides thoughts of other great thinkers of the past. This is an excellent book for the young Christian who wants to learn the basis for common Christian doctrine and a recommended read.
