About this title

Review:

'Few things are more important in becoming established as a strong Christian than getting your doctrines clear and sorted, and few men are more qualified than Wayne Grudem to lead you into a grasp of the truths of Scripture.' --Terry Virgo

'As Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology contracts into a compact book, I do not lose my enthusiasm for the truth he loves and the clarity of his words.' --John Piper

'This book is a useful read for new and mature Christians alike.' --Mike Pilavachi

Synopsis:

"Christian Essentials Made Plain and Simple God" doesn't call every Christian to go off to seminary, but there are certain matters of doctrine - that is, the church's teaching - that every Christian simply must know. Theology is important because what we believe affects how we live. If you're a relatively new believer in Jesus, or if you're a more mature Christian looking for a quick brush-up on basics of the faith, "Christian Beliefs" is for you. This readable guide to twenty basic Christian beliefs is a condensation of Wayne Grudem's award-winning book on systematic theology, prized by pastors and teachers everywhere. He and his son, Elliot, have boiled down the essentials of Christian theology for the average layperson and made them both clear and applicable to life. You will learn about the Bible, the characteristics of God, what it means that we are created in the image of God, what God has done for us in Christ, the purpose of the church, and much more. Each chapter includes questions for personal review or group discussion. These truly are twenty basic beliefs that every Christian should know.

'Wayne Grudem is a master teacher with the ability to explain profound truths in simple language. He is a man of deep conviction and theological passion - and those who read this book will be both educated and encouraged in the faith.' - R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky. 'Based on "Systematic Theology", this summary will certainly help beginners with Christ to get the hang of their faith.' - J. I. Packer, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia. 'As Wayne Grudem's "Systematic Theology" contracts into a compact book, I do not lose my enthusiasm for the truth he loves and the clarity of his words.' - John Piper, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
