Synopsis

Pilgrim Theology is a map for Christians seeking to better understand the core beliefs of their faith. Even though it's the study of God, theology has a reputation for being dry, abstract, and irrelevant for daily living. But theology is a matter of life and death. It affects the way you think, the decisions you make, the way you relate to God and the world.Reformed theologian and professor Michael Horton wrote Pilgrim Theology as a more accessible companion to his award-winning systematic theology The Christian Faith: widely praised for its thorough treatment of the biblical and historical foundations of Christian doctrine.In Pilgrim Theology, his focus is in putting the study of theology into the daily drama of discipleship. Each chapter will orient you toward a clear understanding about:Who God is.What our relationship is to him.And what our faith in Jesus Christ means in our daily walk as well as in the context of the narrative of Scripture and the community of the church.Through accessible chapters on individual doctrines, as well as frequent "Key Distinction" boxes that succinctly explain the differences between important themes, you'll gain an understanding of doctrines that may have sounded like technical seminary terms to you before: justification, sanctification, glorification, union with Christ, and others.You have a working theology already—an existing understanding of God. It's the goal of Pilgrim Theology to help you examine that understanding more closely and have it challenged and strengthened.

Gold with ore There are some incredible insights in this systematic theology book. I have to say that getting the deeper value from them sometimes requires a little work like extracting gold from ore. To put it openly, he has a lot of tension coiled up in people who differ with him - usually not libe......more

Goodreads review by Allison on May 30, 2023

Definitely the clearest systematic theology I've read! Horton's theology is definitely reformed but as a systematic theology he covers the basics of other positions on issues as well. He explains difficult theological positions and issues as clearly as I think possible which was super helpful for me......more

Goodreads review by Benjamin on May 23, 2021

Occasionally, Horton says weird things (like republication). But for the vast majority, this is good, confessional doctrine. Written to be very accessible (at time resulting in weirdly colloquial prose and figures of speech that just don’t work), this is a good intro to Reformed Theology. Bad place t......more

Goodreads review by Ben on March 12, 2016

In the world of systematic theology, books tend towards being either thorough multivolume tomes or popular-level high school textbook styled theologies for people who don't know much theology. Pilgrim Theology strike a perfect compromise between the rigor and accessibility, being as short as can rea......more
