Synopsis

This reliable and highly readable textbook provides comprehensive coverage of core Christian beliefs from an evangelical perspective. Developed from the author's popular introductory course on Christian doctrine, the book rests firmly on biblical foundations while also providing a balanced discussion of areas where evangelicals disagree. As with other books in SPCK's 'Exploring' series, the text will be accompanied by essay topics and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter.

About this title

Review:

Tony Lane is a masterful teacher . . . He has a knack of writing epigrammatic sentences that instantly clarify an issue. He has a gift for accurately apt illustrations. Just when things might be getting a little dull, he throws in a joke or even a cartoon. Ideal for anyone who wants to understand the basics. --Richard Bauckham, Emeritus Professor of New Testament Studies

Engaging in style, evangelical in spirit, ecumenical in atmosphere, and eclectic in its use of resources . . . Exploring Christian Doctrine will delight students looking for a textbook that is clear and informative, never overbearing but always challenging. --Sinclair B. Ferguson, Professor of Systematic Theology

The book's structure is appetizingly laid out in a series of initial questions, positions taken, objections raised, errors to avoid and Lane s own succinct answers all framed by credal and confessional bounds and set within the context of worship. --Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Research Professor of Systematic Theology
