Try RC Sproul's Now, That's a Good Question! This publisher's description is pretty accurate:

Sproul, a distinguished theologian and educator, address doctrinal points and contemporary issues such as euthanasia, evolution, and abortion. His answers cover over three hundred topics in a personable, easy-to-read style that’s perfect for the lay person. New believers as well as those older in the faith will find this book a great resource for those challenging questions of life and faith.

A book that is even more in-depth but much more thorough is Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology. Most systematic theologies are dry as bones, but Grudem's is very readable. This product description is very accurate as well:

The Christian church has a long tradition of systematic theology, that is, studying theology and doctrine organized around fairly standard categories such as the Word of God, redemption, and Jesus Christ. This introductory textbook on systematic theology has several distinctive features:
  • A strong emphasis on the scriptural basis for each doctrine and teaching
  • Clear writing, with technical terms kept to a minimum
  • A contemporary approach, treating subjects of special interest to the church today
  • A friendly tone, appealing to the emotions and the spirit as well as the intellect
  • Frequent application to life
  • Resources for worship with each chapter
  • Bibliographies with each chapter that cross-reference subjects to a wide range of other systematic theologies
