Whenever we read, think, hear or say anything about God, we are doing theology. Yet theology isn't just a matter of what we think. It affects who we are. In the tradition of Helmut Thielicke's A Little Exercise for Young Theologians, Kelly Kapic offers a concise introduction to the study of theology for newcomers to the field. He highlights the value and importance of theological study and explains its unique nature as a serious discipline. Not only concerned with content and method, Kapic explores the skills, attitudes and spiritual practices needed by those who take up the discipline. This brief, clear and lively primer draws out the relevance of theology for Christian life, worship, mission, witness and more. "Theology is about life," writes Kapic. "It is not a conversation our souls can afford to avoid."

Excerpt from New Notes for Bible Readings New Notes is not in any sense a reprint of the well-known Notes and Suggestions for Bible Readings, edited by S. R. Briggs and J. H. Elliott; it is an entirely new collection; still it may be said to contain many of the same features as in the previous volume, which has now reached a sale of during twelve years, being published in the United States, Great Britain and Canada; this great and continuous demand seems to be an estimate of, and certainly a testimony to, the value of such a book. Our father, the late Mr. Sfr. Briggs, had looked forward to publishing such a work, but the Lord saw his tired servant needed rest and called him home, leaving others to complete the work begun. A large proportion of the Readings in this present vol ume have been selected from that which he left behind as a result of over twenty years of Bible study. These may be known by not having the name of the author at their close. Selections have also been made from many noted students of the Word, some of which Readings have been specially prepared by the authors, and are published now for the first time. The appli cation of Truth is to some extent so general and universal that e. G. Subjects specially suitable for the unsaved very often cannot but apply somewhat to the Believer, and vice versa. For this reason the index, with which exceptional care has been taken to make it a valuable help, must be depended on rather than on the divisional arrangement; however, the following general outline of Readings, we trust will be found to be somewhat suggestive.
