A Good Starter Book, But Be Careful
25 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
Here is a book that is excellent for one wanting to start studying more in depth the MANY doctrines of the Bible. We often forget how many major doctrines there are. I personally have found approximately 50 doctrines in the Bible related to salvation alone. Mr. Lockyer does a great job and will get you started, expanding your mind beyond the "milk" theology in which so many Christians remain. But be careful. He bought into the very young doctrines of premillennialism and dispensationalism, so you will find his doctrinal explanations as related to eschatology to be "newspaper" theology rather than biblical theology.

Good in parts but a bit dogmatically erroneous in places
23 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback
This book is uplifting mostly, and refreshing. However, Lockyer has fallen for the false man-made doctrine that "Lucifer" used to be Satan's name, before he fell, even though Isaiah 14:12-14 must be taken out of context, at best, for this view to have scriptural backing. Perhaps a lot of us were taught this doctrine as children (I was). There has been a long-standing habit of taking Isa. 14 out of context, using it to mainly apply it to Satan's fall while ignoring the true "proverb" and subject of the chapter: the king of Babylon and his judgment from God for having oppressed Israel. In order to take the Lucifer text out of context, many sadly ignore the verse that sets the context of the chapter: v. 4. Of course, it very possibly vv. 12-14 are a second (or double) rendering that shows the fall of Satan and how the fall of the king of Babylon was likened to that of Satan.
Many people don't know that the word "Lucifer" came into the English Bible from the Latin Vulgate. It did not exist in any translation of the Bible until Jerome put it into his Latin translation. The original word in the original Hebrew is helel. Jerome translated helel using the word that held the closest match to the meaning of the original, and the word he used was Lucifer, meaning "bright or shining one." Helel (Hebrew) was the word designated for the "morning star" (planet Venus) which was worshiped by the pagans near Israel and during Israel's Babylonian captivity. The pagan king of Babylon was likened to his pagan deity in a mocking sense delivered by the Holy Spirit through Isaiah in chapter 14. God mocked the king in his pride, and in viewing himself as deity, and brought him down to the grave and hell. Isaiah 14 does not teach what Satan's name used to be before he fell. As for that, God has not told us. If anything, if he has told us what it was, it would not have been Lucifer but Helel. Helel is in the original text. Lucifer is just a translation of it, as is "morgen stern" in Luther's German Bible, etc. I wish that Lockyer hadn't included this "Lucifer" dogma in this book.

Good basic Bible doctrines book - nice place to start
26 Jun 2003
Format:Paperback
In 1964 Herbert Lockyer originally published "All the Doctrines of the Bible" and it has been in print ever since. While this is hardly all the doctrines that are found in the Bible by the various religious groups, it is the thirty most important doctrines that are held by pretty much all of the Christian doctrines.
The book starts with a brief introduction to how to study Christian doctrine. From there it starts into the doctrines of Divine Revelation, Divine Inspiration, God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, Angels, Satan and Demons, Man, the Covenants, Predestination, Sin, Salvation, Grace, Repentance, Regeneration, Substitution, Redemption, Reconciliation, Faith, Adoption, Assurance, Righteousness, Peace, Sanctification, Christian Ethics, Eternal Security, Prayer, the Church, and Last Things.
For each doctrine the chapter clearly defines it and follows with the development of the doctrine using specific Bible verse references. On some matters, such as baptism, it provides thoughts of other great thinkers of the past. This is an excellent book for the young Christian who wants to learn the basis for common Christian doctrine and a recommended read.
