A Basic Primer on Theological Exploration

Book Cover & Preview Text
During my tenure as a missionary, I spent many hours talking to people about Jesus; attempting to influence them towards following Christ. I gradually begin to see that most of these people were not interested in knowing about the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John; they wanted to learn about the Gospel according to me.
If we are a committed Christian who wants to fulfill the commandment “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature,” (Mark 16:15) we must have a competent knowledge of what we believe the good news about Jesus is and arrive at our own understanding of who He is and what His plan is for us humans and all of his creation. Then you will be able to more efficiently tell others “The Gospel according to You”

About the Book
If you want to fulfill the commandment “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all Creation” (Mark 16:15), you must have a competent knowledge of the good news about Jesus.
By arriving at your own understanding of who He is and what His plan is for humanity, you’ll be equipped to efficiently share his life saving truths with others.
In this book, the author seeks to help Christians who want to learn of Him and from Him. He urges readers to ask questions such as:
• What do you personally believe about Christ and His kingdom?
• What essential doctrines must you adhere to if you want to claim to be a Christian?
• Do your discovered beliefs pass the Reality “sniff test?”
The author also stresses that unless you are living a holy life, your pursuit of “the gospel according to you” is futile. God only tells His deep truths to those who are living in obedience to Him and His Word. He also only tells His mysteries to those who care to know.
