Manual of Theology: A Treatise of Christian Doctrine, The Eight Books, Complete (Hardcover) - Hardcover

John L. Dagg's guide to theology offers superb spiritual insight from the viewpoint of a senior preacher and theologian of the American Baptist movement. As Dagg's masterwork, the Manual of Theology is an honest and practical guide to the many aspects and qualities of Bible theology. Perhaps significantly, Dagg opens his great work with a chapter on inspiration - the fact that God inspired and communicated the Bible, and why all Christians should acknowledge this truth if they are to understand His guidance in their lives. Dagg also discusses the individual Christian life and soul. The penalty of losing one's soul, if indeed one sins to such an extent as to be distant from the Lord, is confirmed to be the worst any person may suffer. However, Dagg continues on a more hopeful note: one's soul can be redeemed and saved, although the numbers of souls to have gained such redemption is only small.
