Cover of Basic Theology

Basic Theology (1986, 1999) is a Systematic Theology book written by Christian author Charles Caldwell Ryrie and published by Moody Publishers. Written for the layman, the book makes a conscious effort to use simple language and examples, many illustrations, and few footnotes.[1]

Basic Theology is written from a theologically conservative perspective. It assumes a number of presuppositions, including the inerrancy of Scripture, a normal/plain interpretation of scripture, and the legitimacy of proof texts.[2] Ryrie's theology stems from an approach to Scripture, claiming that "when objective authority is supplemented, compromised, or abandoned, theism will be weakened or even relinquished."[3]
