A wonderful theological resource

Peter Jensen is a prominent Australian theologian and theologian who has trained many pastors and theologians for Gospel ministry, and in this wonderful gem of a resource all those years of theological teaching has been brought together in one volume. The most striking thing about “The Life of Faith” is the clear and accessible way that it is presented, Jensen presents these biblical truths in such layman’s terms that it can be easily read and understood by anyone from the new believer to the seasoned pastor. Each chapter is divided up into helpful sections with a closing section of a key Bible verse, a quotation, key terms, questions for reflection and further study and suggested further reading. These additional resources would make “The Life of Faith” suitable for small groups or an introductory theological study class, whilst the apologetic style that the author employs in presenting his arguments could also make this book ideal for teaching those who are exploring or new to faith. The book itself is divided up into three main sections: Part One: Knowing the God who creates Part Two: Knowing the Creator who saves Part Three: Knowing the Saviour who is Lord Each of these sections contain a total of 27 clear and accessible chapters systemically exploring the biblical story of salvation and presenting the Gospel message with a theological depth and clarity. I personally found this book such a refreshing read, and I did not feel like I was reading a theology book but rather that I was being immersed in the beauty of the Gospel with a gently rigorous approach to presenting the truth. The refrain throughout the book is that of the Lord Jesus’ question to the disciples: “Who do you say that I am?” (Mark 8:29) and at the heart of this book is exploring the answer to that vital question in emphatically presenting the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ who came to bring the sinner to God. *Disclaimer: 10ofThose kindly provided me with a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
