5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful teaching from scripture, April 3, 2000

This review is from: God the Father, God the Son (Great Doctrines of the Bible) (Hardcover)

Lloyd-Jones makes a distinction between "doctrine" (the ideas we derive from reading scripture) and "theology" (the additional understanding that comes from our own reasoning apart from scripture.) In this series of lectures, he is only interested in doctrine. One of the most impressive aspects of his enormous accomplishment is how thoroughly he supports each of the great doctrines of the faith with scripture after scripture--and not just from isolated passages. He ranges across the Old and New Testament demonstrating the underlying unity of the Bible. A great book! It is the first of three volumes and they are all valuable reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disgestible Doctrine, March 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: God the Father, God the Son (Great Doctrines of the Bible) (Hardcover)

As a layperson, it is easy for me to be put off by theology and doctrine. Initially, I approach this book with caution as I do not want to be caught in the endless discussion on theology and other doctrinal issues. But after sampling what Dr Lloyd-Jones wrote in this book, I am amazed at how easy it is to follow his discussion here on God and Christ. Writing in a sermon style, it is easy to keep track of the difficult issues that he put forth. He has made it easier for me to understand the doctrines upon which my faith is based on. These doctrines of the faith has help me to know the truth in my mind.
