In today's world, truth is relevant or we hear that is my truth or their truth. It is no wonder we live in a mixed up world filled with anxiety and confusion. I so appreciate books that point us to the truth. When we deny truth, we deny God. It is that simple. The teaching on truth gives us reminders about truth. That every truth makes a claim. Anyone who ignores truth puts themselves in danger. Truth has 3 key attributes, omnipresence (everywhere present), everlastingness (through all times), and unchangeability (immutability). In other words, truth is God's character. It also is the foundation of man's redemption. Jesus himself says that he came to testify to the truth.

The study helps look at truth in our world, circumstances and faith. The author takes a simple Oak tree for the reader to see the truth of the existence of that tree. Which leads to the authority and submission. These things to me are holy and reveal who God is.

If you are offended by truth, you are offended by God. Is the truth easy to embrace? No it is not in our sinful nature and that is why Jesus came. This book is important to read and reread. To gain strength in truth and wisdom. Highly recommend.

A special thank you to Crossway Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

Truth, Theology, and Perspective
An Approach to Understanding Biblical Doctrine
by Vern S Poythress
Pub Date 12 Jul 2022

I am reviewing a copy of Truth, Theology, and Perspective through Crossway and Netgalley:



Author, and scholar Vern S Poythress explores major systematic theology topics through the lens of truth in his book Truth, Theology and Perspective. He explains in vivid detail how truth informs and confirms what the Bible teaches.




In this book Poythress deals with everything from the existence of God, to Creation, Miracles and Providence, the book is broken down into clear, easy to read chapters, great for those who are wanting to know a little more about how to understand Biblical Doctrine.




I give Truth, Theology and Perspective five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!

I really enjoyed this book. The author dives into many topics of theology and explains them so well. I am surprised at the amount of information in this fairly quickly read. I appreciated that there was scripture woven all through the book. This is a resource I think it’s a good refresher for those of us who have been saved for a while but haven’t studied theology much, and even for new Christians.
