Everyone has questions about God and what matters most in life. When we ask those questions, we are asking about theology.

Notes
Where Do We Go from Here?
David Lauber (Ph.D., Princeton Theological Seminary) is associate professor of theology at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. He is author of Barth on the Descent into Hell.
Philip Graham Ryken (Ph.D., Oxford) is President of Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. He is Bible teacher for the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, and can be heard weekly on the radio broadcast Every Last Word. He has written or edited more than thirty books including The Message of Salvation, The Doctrines of Grace (with James Montgomery Boice) and Ryken's Bible Handbook.
Gary M. Burge (PhD, University of Aderbeen) is professor of New Testament at Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois. Among his many published books are The Evangelical One Volume Commentary on the Bible (general editor with A. Hill, 2012) and the award-winning Whose Land? Whose Promise? .
"This volume gathers short essays (and suggestions for further
reading) from theology professors at Wheaton College. They have
listened and reflected as generations of students have asked about
human life and purpose. The book aims to assure curious or wavering
believers that 'good and thoughtful answers are at hand that can
help.'"
*Christianity Today, March 2014*
"More than a catechism, and more elaborate than a profession of
faith, this explicitly didactic and accessible series of answers to
typical quandaries ought to be useful as a point of departure for
many Christian education classes."
*Library Journal, February 15, 2014*
"All in all this is a good approach to biblical theology. It is
conservative in thought and methodology, but fair and open-minded.
The book is well organized. The scholars are well qualified. The
topics are pertinent to theological dialog. I will use this book
for my biblical theology course."
*Joseph C. Grana II, Stone-Campbell Journal, Fall 2015*
