Doctrine is not just for theologians; it matters for every Christian, because it shows us who God is and how we should live. Systematizing the theology that has undergirded John MacArthur's preaching ministry for decades, this overview of Christian doctrine covers God the Father, the person and work of Christ, the Holy Spirit, Scripture, man and sin, salvation, angels, the church and the last things.

Edited by MacArthur and Richard Mayhue and written with the faculty of The Master's Seminary, it argues from a Reformed and cessationist position and documents each point heavily from Scripture rather than from the history of doctrine. At nearly a thousand pages it functions as a seminary text and a reference work. A Spanish edition is also available.
