Elemental Theology

I have taken theology classes in college and seminary and in most cases the theology weaves together with a philosophical framework. This theology uses more scripture and seeks to be a Biblical Theology more than a Systemic Theology. My wife had Mead Armstrong, who edited the second edition, as a professor in theology. Each day the class was more of a worship experience. Professor Armstrong was a humble man of God. This third edition seems to flow better than the earlier editions.

The original version of this book is one the first books on theology that I had read on my own perhaps some 17 years ago. Though I no longer possess the book, I remember it as being extremely reader friendly and fairly comprehensive covering virtually all of the major doctrines including general/special revelation, sin, salvation, angels, and last things, etc. It was, in fact, so easy to read and understand that I was able to finish it in only a few days (although at that time I could read all night long.) I believe it is supposed to be a sort of theological primer for its companion volume, "Christian Theology" by the same author, which is a more difficult read and goes into much greater detail. Written from a [Baptist] dispensational, premillenial, pretribulational viewpoint, it is an excellent book with which to begin your theological studies. The reader will have a great deal of basic theology under his belt when he finishes this book.
