Synopsis

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Evangelical Theology: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.Evangelical Theology: Audio Lectures, presents systematic theology from the unique perspective of a biblical scholar. Author and scholar Michael Bird contends that the center, unity, and boundary of the evangelical faith is the evangel, or gospel, as opposed to doctrines like justification by faith or inerrancy.The evangel is the unifying thread in evangelical theology and the theological hermeneutic through which the various loci of theology need to be understood, thus these lectures present an approach to Christian doctrine that begins with the gospel and sees each loci through the lens of the gospel.Filled with vibrant illustrations and humor that will keep viewers engaged as they learn the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith, Evangelical Theology: Audio Lectures is an ideal way for beginning students and laypeople to explore theology.

He has written on Jesus in Are You the One Who Is to Come? and Jesus is The Christ. He has written on Paul in Int......more

Goodreads review by Todd on October 14, 2015

What sets this Systematic Theology apart from the others? The goal of orienting ST around the gospel. Therefore Michael Bird's effort is noble and important. He deserves much applause for the attempt. Here are a few reasons that his book is worth reading. 1. Each doctrine begins by asking the vital q......more

Goodreads review by Bill on December 16, 2014

Bird's gospel-centred theological grid is the first, second and third best thing about this book, and it provides such a strong and healthy foundation for systematic theology that the book is paradigm setting despite some other weaknesses. Other strengths are Bird's conversational and engaging style......more

Goodreads review by Zach on November 17, 2015

There is some good stuff in here; it's a systematic theology, you'd have to really screw the pooch not to get something right!
