Concise Theology

Every first saturday of the month, we gather for a Tyrannus Bible Training. The word "Tyrannus" is found in Acts 19:9-10 "He [Paul] took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord." It is synonymous with a place where believers gathered to learn about the Word of God.

We are using the book "Concise Theology" written by J.I. Packer, the author who wrote "Knowing God". Packer gave an excellent overview as well as adequate depth in theology over 94 short excerpts in 4 sections:

a. God Revealed as Creator
b. God Revealed as Redeemer
c. God Revealed as Lord of Grace
d. God Revealed as Lord of Destiny

We are halfway through the study, and I wouldn't say i fully understood everything shared in the book, but it is truly an excellent resource for learning about theology on a "deeper than surface yet shallower than the deep" kind of level; thus the title of the book "Concise Theology".

A new word i learnt in class was "Paraclete", which means the Holy Spirit, the Counselor, which came from the Greek word "parakletos" meaning one who gives support. Does anyone know how to pronounce the word "Paraclete" correctly?
