How do we know the Bible is God's Word? What is sin and where did it come from? How is Jesus fully God and fully man? What are spiritual gifts? When and how will Christ return?

The second edition of Bible Doctrine takes a widely used upper-level textbook on systematic theology and makes it accessible.

The Doctrine of the Word of God
