I am reading a book given to me by my pastor titled The Drama of Doctrine. It's by Kevin Vanhoozer, professor of theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. I'm only in the preface, and he's said several things worth noting, but my favorite so far is this:
"The stereotype of doctrine as dry and dusty cuts a flimsy caricature next to the real thing, which is brave and bracing. Doctrine deals with energies and events that are as real and powerful as anything known in chemistry and physics, energies and events that can turn the world we know upside down, energies and events into which we are grafted as participants with speaking and acting parts."
Well put.
