Christian Beliefs : Twenty Basics Every Christian Should Know

A reader-friendly guide to Christian doctrines-for new believers and all Christians Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology has established itself as a foundational reference in the evangelical church today. But a proper understanding of theology is not just important for pastors, students, and church leaders. Newer Christians, especially those who do not come from church backgrounds, also need grounding in basic Christian doctrine. Christian Beliefs is a one-eighths the size condensation of Systematic Theology and is designed to provide a basic guide that is sound but not intimidating. It also serves as an interesting book for more mature Christians who want something that is solid, yet fairly light. The twenty chapters and three appendices (confessions of faith, bibliography, and glossary) provide an essential resource that is highly readable and easy to understand.
