You Are a Theologian: An Invitation to Know and Love God Well

Jen Wilkin and J.T. English present a foundational overview of systematic theology designed for the local church. The text breaks down complex doctrinal categories such as the attributes of God, the person and work of Christ, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the future of the church. Instead of treating these subjects as academic abstractions, the authors frame them as a necessary framework for right worship. They argue that every person holds beliefs about God, and this manual provides the vocabulary and logic to align those beliefs with historical Christian orthodoxy and biblical revelation.

This book serves laypeople who feel intimidated by formal theological study but desire a deeper intellectual connection to their faith. Readers come to this text to bridge the gap between Sunday morning sermons and personal study. By the end, the reader gains a structural understanding of how different doctrines—like the sovereignty of God and human agency—fit together. They walk away with the ability to articulate what they believe and why it matters for their daily life and practice within a faith community.
