The Doctrines Category holds works which are doctrinal in nature. Note that normally I try to keep works out of this category as much as possible unless it is something like a Systematic Theology or a doctrines books that deals with a group of doctrines (Christ, Holy Spirit, Salvation, etc.). For more specific works that deal with a single area of doctrine, I put them into the specific category that they deal with. For example, a book on the Holy Spirit or speaking in tongues, I will classify it in the Holy Spirit Category, or in a tongues subcategory under Holy Spirit, or put it into the Holy Spirit with a tongues tag.
