Pilgrim Theology: Core Doctrines for Christian Disciples Kindle Edition

by Michael Horton (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

Pilgrim Theology is a map for Christians seeking to better understand the core beliefs of their faith.

Even though it's the study of God, theology has a reputation for being dry, abstract, and irrelevant for daily living. But theology is a matter of life and death. It affects the way you think, the decisions you make, the way you relate to God and the world.

Reformed theologian and professor Michael Horton wrote Pilgrim Theology as a more accessible companion to his award-winning systematic theology The Christian Faith: widely praised for its thorough treatment of the biblical and historical foundations of Christian doctrine.

In Pilgrim Theology, his focus is in putting the study of theology into the daily drama of discipleship. Each chapter will orient you toward a clear understanding about:

Who God is.
What our relationship is to him.
And what our faith in Jesus Christ means in our daily walk as well as in the context of the narrative of Scripture and the community of the church.

Through accessible chapters on individual doctrines, as well as frequent "Key Distinction" boxes that succinctly explain the differences between important themes, you'll gain an understanding of doctrines that may have sounded like technical seminary terms to you before: justification, sanctification, glorification, union with Christ, and others.

You have a working theology already—an existing understanding of God. It's the goal of Pilgrim Theology to help you examine that understanding more closely and have it challenged and strengthened.

The First Family Theology Book

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2013

Verified Purchase

Michael Horton's theology volume in 2011 (The Christian Faith) is superb and moves to the front of the line in theological Reference Volumes for those of the Reformed and Covenant faith. Now, Horton has taken that large reference volume and put it on a lower shelf to be reachable and readable to all the family members. This is the first time I have ever seen a book on theology edited to be used for the family, to be edited in a format that is readable and allows for questions and discussion for families. The free resource that comes with the book is a great reference tool that indexes both books! You can use this small resource to index the topic in Pilgrim Theology and it gives you the same page numbers in the larger volume for extra study and insight. Teachers and Pastors will love the larger volume and will definitely want to recommend this book to every family.

Great Systematic Theology Book

This is a great beginner systematic book. I was looking for something that had depth, but wasn’t crazy long. I would highly recommend Pilgrim Theology to any one who wants a prime in core doctrine.

This is one of my most favorite books. Michael Horton writes in a concise and yet readable making theology a joy to read. I love his intention to write for those of us who understand ourselves to be on a lifelong pilgrimage toward the celestial city.

It's excellent but not easy

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

All right, I'm a wimp when it comes to studying Systematic Theology. Barth took it out of me back in the 70s.

Maybe I misunderstood when I read that this was a "simplified" version of his previous ST book.

Hang in there, it's worth it. Use the free study guide available on the Zondervan site to guide you a bit.

This book is for the person who has done some serious theology and doctrine reading and study for some time and wants to get into the how and why of things.

Great Book

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is not simply a summary of the larger work but is a stand alone piece that is extremely beneficial. If you have ever wanted to read a thoroughly historically Reformed systematican who does not sound like a robot, here it is. With the art and beauty of the Orthodox and the clarity and biblical insights that stand in line with the creedal Reformed tradition.

Mike Horton gives a concise theology in a very approachable way

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2013

Verified Purchase

I am always intimidated by the 1500 page long systematic theologies that are out there but this book was helpful as an introduction to wet my appetite for some of the larger books out there. I recommend this book for any one who is reformed, or who is wondering what reformed theology is.

I'm just getting into the meat of the book and so far it is very enlightening. We are using it in a monthly men's group and I am looking forward to growing in my knowledge of our Lord and Savior.
