It seems that these days everyone has a preferred doctrine, rather than the Gospel. In his work Invitation to Dogmatic Theology former professor and current pastor Paul McGlasson presents the discipline of Dogmatic Theology, and points us away from formulating doctrines in light of current theological trends, political movements, or any other non-biblically centered tradition. Instead he appeals to Scripture as the basis for doctrinal formulation, and roots it in the Nicene Creed and what canonical theologians have begun calling theological exegesis.

Pet doctrines can be dangerous, whether they come from conservative or liberal believers. Former seminary professor Paul McGlasson, now a Presbyterian pastor, invites all Christians to come together to think about the Word of the living God with the mission of the church in mind. His desire is that Christians must "turn directly to Scripture itself, seeking to hear the living voice of Christ through the guidance of the Holy Spirit." Along the way, he examines liberal and evangelical theologies, church movements, and politics. This thought-provoking book will be stimulating reading for pastors, seminary students, and any other Christians concerned with the health and unity of the body of Christ.
