Introductory-level systematic theology for preachers, Bible college students, and lay leaders
Based on notes that Peter Jensen provided to first-year doctrine students at Moore College, this book provides an introductory-level systematic theology. It will appeal to a keen lay person, ministry trainee or Bible college student, whilst also offering enough depth and stimulation to be relevant and interesting to full-time gospel workers.
The book is divided into 27 relatively short chapters (just over 3,000 words per chapter, on average), making it highly accessible and an ideal reference volume for preachers, Bible college students, Bible study leaders, and keen readers and lay leaders.

The Life of Faith is an introductory systematic theology that simultaneously cuts its own swathe and sustains traditional confessional evangelical theology. The fruit of a master teacher who has spent decades serving theological students, the book does not follow the traditional loci of systematic theology, but has been shaped by the form of biblical theology developed at Moore Theological College. It is only a fraction of the length of traditional magisterial volumes (e.g. Shedd, Hodge, Bavinck, Berkhof), while being more overtly edifying. The work has the freshness of an author who in the 21st century is still engaging in evangelism: it smells of the gospel, of ‘gospelizing’, rather more than of the library, even while readers will sense the author’s allegiance to the Thirty-Nine Articles. This is an excellent book for those just starting out in serious study of theology, and for those who want a refresher.
Students of the Bible are indebted to Dr Peter Jensen’s clear,
concise and thoroughly readable introduction to Christian
doctrine. After 25 years of teaching theological students, Dr
Jensen is well across the nuances and challenges of explaining
the Bible’s core focus and the appropriate human response,
namely, a life of faith. This volume will be an asset to all who
desire a deeper understanding of God and his word.
