Theology for Everyone
You Are A Theologian
A 2024 Christian Book Award Winner.Wilkin and English give us a one-volume Christian theology in simple language. If you want to know God — and ultimately love Him more — start here.
God’s Big Picture
How could 66 books written by 40 different authors over nearly 2,0000 years be one coherent story? God’s Big Picture, a slim 166 page volume, situates each book under the theme of the Kingdom of God. Roberts shows how every book points to the Bible’s supreme subject matter – Jesus Christ.
Knowing God
With over one million copies sold, Knowing God is the classic text for someone seeking a greater understanding of their faith.
Section 2: Practitioners
The Christian Imagination On Display
The C.S. Lewis Signature Classics
We couldn’t choose from Lewis’s extensive body of work. You should read all of them in this nicely arranged and cheaply priced collection.
Making Sense of God
Secularism offers various pathways to meaning, freedom, identity and justice. But they’re dead end roads. Making Sense of God offers Christian answers to the fundamental questions of modern life.
The Meaning of Marriage
An all-time Lakelight reading recommendation.“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything.”
The Jesus Storybook Bible
With over 3 million copies sold, The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the Big Gospel Story threaded through all other Biblical stories.
Everything Sad Is Untrue
A Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and NPR book of the year finalist. Everything Sad Is Untrue tells the true story of an Iranian family that flees to the US following the mother’s conversion to Christianity, from the perspective of a 12 year old boy Khorusu.
Section 3: Heavy Hitters
Seminary-Level Readings
Confessions
One of the great works of Western literature, from perhaps the most important thinker of Christian antiquity, in a revolutionary new translation by one of today’s leading classicists. Take up and read.
The Freedom of a Christian
“A Christian is a free lord of everything and subject to no one. A Christian is a willing servant of everything and subject to everyone.”
A Little Book on the Christian Life
Protestant reformer John Calvin’s little booklet is a staple of Timeless Wisdom for Modern Life. Calvin’s handle on Scripture and clear expression is unsurpassable. Reading this book will challenge your mind and warm your heart.
Life Together
What does it mean for the Church to be a Christian community? Forged in the fires of resisting Nazi Germany’s state “church”, Bonhoeffer provides a compelling picture of how God’s salvation in Christ transforms our understanding of community.
Biblical Critical Theory
Kevin Vanhoozer declared this colossal work the modern update to Augustine's City of God. Watkin believes the Bible offers a vision of reality more capacious, compelling and illuminating than any other offered in our modern world.
