To Begin at the Beginning provides clear and concise information for persons new to Christianity and those who want to learn more about God.
This revised and expanded edition includes a new preface, all new study questions, and an updated bibliography. It was originally published in 1994.
The book is a starting place for those who want to consider -- or reconsider -- the essential tenets of the Christian faith. It allows adults to take a look at questions they may never have felt comfortable to ask.
"It is my hope that this book will in some way be an invitation to discipleship. Its aim is not merely to create further knowledge but also to prompt further commitment. To grasp the Christian faith or to be grasped by it, it must be lived, not merely studied, " writes Martin B. Copenhaver.
