Appendix: Frequently Cited Sources

“You hold in your hands a smorgasbord of theological delights. Daily Doctrine is at once a daily devotional, a mini systematic theology, and a reference tool. It is deep but delightful, profound but practical, comprehensive but concise, and accurate but accessible. May the Lord use this manual to raise up more systematic theologians in our pews!”
Joel R. Beeke, Chancellor and Professor of Homiletics and Systematic Theology, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary; Pastor, Heritage Reformed Congregation, Grand Rapids, Michigan

“In a fragmented age, connecting the dots—between the biblical text and Christian doctrine, between different Christian doctrines, and between Christian doctrines and daily life—is imperative for all Christians, and yet many simply do not have time to read and digest the great classic tomes of systematic theology. This is where this book is so helpful. Taking the time-honored genre of a daily devotional, Kevin DeYoung has produced a book that looks at the great doctrines that the Bible teaches. And in doing so, he enables us to grasp more fully the beauty and significance of Christian doctrine both for Bible reading and for how we live our lives.”
Carl R. Trueman, Professor of Biblical and Religious Studies, Grove City College; author, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self

“What a great idea! Who wouldn’t want to work through the major issues in systematic theology under the faithful teaching of Kevin DeYoung and structured as Daily Doctrine? This book will be so helpful to Christians, day by day, doctrine by doctrine, truth after truth. I am so thankful for DeYoung as a great gift to Christ’s church. You will also be thankful for this book as a conduit for truth, doctrine, and spiritual health.”
R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“Those who care about their spiritual health would do well to read Kevin DeYoung’s daily diet of doctrine. Theology at its best ministers understanding of God and the gospel, helping people of faith grow in their faith toward maturity in Christ. This is a one-of-a-kind systematic textbook, the daily doses of which are small yet potent vitamins for the heart and mind.”
Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Research Professor of Systematic Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

“God’s command to ‘remain steadfast’ and ‘grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior’ comes with a warning: those who backslide fall prey to false teachers and heresies. But how does the layperson obey this command to grow in knowledge without seminary training? This book is the answer. Kevin DeYoung masterfully translates complex and necessary systematic theology into ‘daily doctrine.’ There is no more important time for lay Christians to be firmly rooted in systematic theology, and this accessible and trustworthy book will surely become a classic. I read Daily Doctrine` devotionally and left each reading in awe of the majesty of God and the richness of the Reformed church’s teachings throughout the ages.”
Rosaria Butterfield, former Professor of English and Women’s Studies, Syracuse University; author, The Gospel Comes with a House Key and Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age

“I cannot remember the last time I kept turning the pages of a book with so much curiosity, eager to find out what difficult question the next chapter would answer. The beauty of this book is Kevin DeYoung’s ability to navigate the sophisticated scholastic distinctions that hold our theology together while making them sing with fervency for life in the church. This book is no mere manual but an adventure that charters that ancient course of classical Reformed theology. May this book kill doctrinal indifference wherever it lives and summon a new generation to revel in the deep things of God once more.”
Matthew Barrett, Professor of Christian Theology, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; author, Simply Trinity and None Greater

“Daily Doctrine is an extraordinary gift to anyone who yearns to grow significantly in the knowledge of God but will never enjoy the benefit of a seminary education. It brings the brilliance of a Kevin DeYoung systematic theology class to your favorite chair with a kindly blend of readability and rigor. An excellent companion with the daily reading of Scripture, this remarkably organized work will also be among the handiest of theology reference books long after it has been devoured cover to cover.”
Paul McNulty, President, Grove City College; former US Deputy Attorney General

“This book is about systematic, doctrinal theology. If those three words make your eyes glaze over, fear not, my friend. This isn’t Big Scary Theology for brainy people droning on and on with long-winded, obscure sentences. Quite the opposite, this is theology as it was meant to be. Not suffocating but lifegiving, not esoteric but doxological—ideal for believers wanting to deepen their knowledge of God in brisk installments. Here you’ll find daily encouragement to know and love God forever and ever. Highly recommended!”
Hans Madueme, Professor of Theological Studies, Covenant College

“What a great way of reflecting daily on the triune God! This daily devotional inspires as it educates.”
Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California

“Kevin DeYoung has been especially gifted by the Lord to translate complex ideas into simple truths. He has the mind of a scholar and the heart of a pastor, employing his academic gifts to serve the people of God with what Calvin called ‘lucid brevity.’ In this volume, DeYoung applies those gifts to the task of systematic theology, and the result is a clear, simple, and accessible articulation of Christian doctrine—helpful for busy pastors, overwhelmed seminary students, and interested laypeople alike. Even those of differing theological traditions will be well served by this faithful and spiritually enriching work.”
Michael Riccardi, Assistant Professor of Theology, The Master’s Seminary; author, To Save Sinners

“Your family and church will be strengthened and encouraged by reading and sharing these theologically enriching, spiritually uplifting, daily doses of Kevin DeYoung’s accessible summaries of the great truths of Scripture.”
Peter A. Lillback, President, Westminster Theological Seminary
