Ground Your Faith in Sound Doctrine

In a time when many avoid theology, thinking it's irrelevant to everyday Christian life, the truth is quite the opposite. Theology—the study of God—is essential for every believer who wants to understand not only who God is, but how He calls us to live.

What Do We Believe? is a comprehensive systematic theology that makes deep doctrine accessible. Written by Matt Slick, this book proves that theology isn't just for academics—it's for anyone who wants to love God more deeply and live more faithfully for Him.

Perfect for Every Christian:

• New believers will find a solid theological foundation to build their faith upon
• Mature Christians will discover a valuable quick-reference resource for theological questions
• Small group leaders will have clear explanations to guide discussions
• Anyone seeking answers to doctrinal questions will find them organized logically and explained clearly

Nine Essential Doctrines Covered:

Chapter 1: Authority
We believe the authority for Christianity is Scripture Alone (Sola Scriptura)

Chapter 2: Biblical Reliability
We believe the Bible is reliable as it was preserved through copies and faithful translations

Chapter 3: God
We believe in one Living and True God who exists eternally as three separate and distinct Persons in one being (the Trinity)

Chapter 4: Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is Almighty God—fully God and fully man—the prophesied Messiah of the Old Testament

Chapter 5: Sin
We believe all people have a sin nature inherited from Adam, which affects every aspect of humanity, including the will

Chapter 6: Creation, Fall, and Promise
We believe Adam and Eve were real, historical people created in the Garden of Eden approximately 6,000 years ago

Chapter 7: Salvation
We believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith in Christ alone, with no element of works to merit righteousness (Sola Gratia, Sola Fide)

Chapter 8: The Church
We believe the church is made of regenerate believers who gather for worship and form the body of Christ

Chapter 9: Eternal State
We believe in a literal heaven and hell that are both conscious and eternal

Why Theology Matters:

The deeper your theology, the deeper your love for God will be—and the stronger your desire to live for Him. This book removes the intimidation from systematic theology and makes it practical, accessible, and life-changing.

Whether you're answering your own questions, teaching others, or simply growing in your faith, What Do We Believe? gives you the theological foundation every Christian needs.
