Overview

In A Systematic Study of Bible Doctrine, Thomas Paul Simmons presents a Reformed Baptist systematic theology that is both concise and practical. Firmly rooted in the doctrine of biblical inerrancy, this volume marshals arguments in favor of a Calvinistic, baptistic, and premillennial interpretation of Scripture. Simmons’ treatment of every major Christian doctrine is scholarly enough for pastors, but accessible to everyday Christians. This clear and succinct work is characterized by well-developed outlines, interaction with opposing arguments, thorough treatments of controversial doctrines, and reliance on scriptural support.

Top Highlights

“Christianity is supremely a doctrinal religion. Its doctrines are of transcendent loftiness, power and beauty as compared with those of other religions. The great need today is to teach and apply the doctrines of the Christian faith. Every false religion zealously propagates its teachings, and that is why many of them are so successful. Christian people generally are woefully ignorant of Christian doctrines, and thus the great spiritual weakness and apathy in most churches.” (source)

“Without the existence of God all other Bible doctrines would be meaningless.” (Page 1)

“Only unleavened bread can fitly represent the sinless body of Christ” (Page 396)

“It would be just as sensible to believe that books are written by forces resident in the alphabet and by the operation of the laws of spelling and grammar as to believe that the universe was created by forces resident in matter and the operation of natural law.” (Page 3)

“Total depravity means that sin has permeated every faculty of man’s being just as a drop of poison would permeate every molecule of a glass of water. Sin has warped every faculty in man, and thus it taints his every act.” (Page 167)
