Theology is for everyone.Everyone is a theologian of sorts. Theology simply means thinking about God and expressing those thoughts in some way. But sloppy theology is a problem. As Christians, our thoughts about God need to coincide with what He's said about Himself in the Bible. With his clear understanding of the Scriptures and unpretentious writing style, Charles Ryrie has written Basic Theology for every student of God's Word, from the devotional student to the seminary student.Ryrie's name has become synonymous with dispensational theology and his texts on the subject invaluable to the Bible scholar. Now Ryrie's Basic Theology is available to you from Moody Press, the company that brings you the Ryrie Study Bible. Featuring charts, definitions, and Scripture and subject indices, Basic Theology will give you a clear and comprehensive picture of Ryrie's approach to systematic theology. Its 94 chapters are arranged in outline style for easy reference. Considerable emphasis is given to explaining the dispensational view of the end times.

November 17, 2003: This book represents my first exposure to Ryrie and I'm eager to read more of him. I am currently using this book in a church bible class entitled, Systematic Theology. Sometimes, Ryrie is more clear with delivering his doctrinal positions than expressing some concepts into words on a page; however, he still manages to force you into taking a closer look at your own heartfelt beliefs. In turn, you are almost compelled to make your own doctrinal statement concerning each topical aspect of your spirituality. Ryrie has extraordinary insight and is an obvious prolific, gifted-writer. I highly recommend using this book as a credible means to further explore why you believe what you believe. You won't be disappointed.
