- AUTHOR PROVIDES A SUMMARY OF CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY –
Doctrine of Sound Words is a book of Christian doctrine in topical format. It covers a wide range of theological topics such as, the triune God, creation, providence, sin, justification, repentance, Christian liberty, free will, marriage and divorce, Christian fellowship, et al). There are thirty three topics beginning with “Holy Scriptures” and ending with “The Last Judgment.” It is a systematic theology for laymen based on the full counsel of God. The topical format is derived from the Westminster Standards which covers the major doctrines of Christianity. It also includes the Westminster Larger Catechism with the author’s commentary.
This book contains a summary of Christian theology in understandable language. Since sound words are necessary to maintain theological integrity for every generation, you will not be disappointed with the challenges that accompany this study of Christian doctrine. Pastors and teachers will find this volume particularly helpful in preparation to preach and teach. The endorsement by an Air Force Chaplain summarizes the worth of this book. “The Westminster Confession and Catechisms, while timeless in their truth and accuracy, have few commentaries that are truly practical and as applicable as this work by Martin Murphy. This is a truly readable and accessible commentary with no peer. A must-have for every Reformed pastor and layman!”
The author said, “teaching sound words from the full counsel of God is necessary to maintain theological integrity for every generation of Christians.” Following the instructions from the apostle Paul, Murphy challenges the church to commit sound doctrine to men who will be able to teach others.
