Every Christian is a theologian. Not every Christian is a good one.
Most of what you believe about God, you picked up along the way, from a grandmother's prayers, a song you learned before you could read, a sermon you half heard. Some of it is right. Some of it is half right. And the first hard year of your life will find out which is which.
Taste and See is a year of theology for people who have never read a theology book. One doctrine a month, one passage a day, five minutes at a time. January starts with the Bible itself, where it came from and why it can be trusted. From there the year moves through who God is, the Trinity, creation, sin, the person and work of Christ, the Spirit and salvation, the Christian life, the church, the faith through the centuries, and finally last things and the new creation.
Inside you'll find:
365 numbered entries, not dated, so you can begin at Day 1 whenever you're ready and let the book's twelve months become your year
One Scripture passage a day, with the reference printed so you read it from your own Bible first
A short reflection of about three hundred words that shows what the passage says about God and why it matters on an ordinary day
A closing question in every entry that carries the day's truth into the rest of your day
A month of church history, from the martyrs of the second century to the man who started Sunday school
David said to taste and see that the Lord is good. This is a year at that table.
