A Great Resource



In my days at Northwestern College, I took two Bible courses from Dr. Daryl Aaron. Neither of them included fun games or fantastic personal anecdotes. Rather they both were focused on what the Bible tells us. I really enjoyed both of the classes, as Dr. Aaron had organized the class material in a very managable and understandable fashion.

So last month when Bethany Publishing House asked if I'd like to do a book review of one of his books, Understanding Theology in 15 Minutes a Day, I jumped at the opportunity. Reading through his book was a great refresher course of what I had learned in his Christian Theology class back in 2006.

Each chapter focuses on a different theological issue, such as “What are Angels and Demons?” or “How can Jesus be both God and Man?” or “Can Christians Lose Their Salvation?” I found that each chapter provided a thorough explanation of the different theological sides of the issue and numerous Bible verses that relate to the issue, all while remaining very understandable. While Dr. Aaron does include his own opinion in some instances, he does a good job at presenting both (or all) of the different thoughts.

I would recommend this book to any one who is looking for answers about the Christian faith. I know this is a resource book that we will keep on our shelf for a long time.
