Book Description
For those who yearn for a deeper walk in faith, their journey can begin here. Dr. Sproul takes theology down off the dusty shelves of theological libraries and expounds in clear and simple, terms over one hundred major Christian doctrines. He offers readers a basic understanding of the Christian faith that will kindle a lifelong love for truth, which is foundational to maturity in Christ. Here are theologically sound explanations of the biblical concepts every Christian should know, written in a way we can all understand. Sprouls homespun analogies and illustrations from contemporary life make this book interesting, informative, and easy to read. Take the next step!

An excellent discourse,
By
This review is from: Essential Truths of the Christian Faith (Paperback)
In this book R.C. Sproul does a masterful job of outlining and explaining over 100 essential doctrines of Christianity. The book starts with the basics and then moves into more complicated subjects. Every effort is made to explain these doctrines without requiring the reader to have a seminary education.Each chapter averages a page and a half to two pages in length and is well supported with Scripture. This makes it a perfect daily devotional for anybody. I did this myself last year. (Warning: One of the earlier chapters references Psalm 119. If you plan on reading all the Scripture references along with the chapter be aware that this one will take awhile :)) This book is a must for anyone interested in theology.

Excellent book for new believers.... and old ones too!,
By kerry195 "KG" (Theologically Correct dot Com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Truths of the Christian Faith (Paperback)
I see that R.C. was essentially trying to write his own catechism with this book.... and for the most part he was pretty sucessful. In it, he covers 101 different areas of Christian theology, including sanctification, glorification, eschatology and much more. He doesn't take a clear position on eschatology in here (he's postmill and partial preterist), but leaves the reader to get some things on his/her own.My only major criticism was that he could've included a LOT more scripture in this book. Everything's Biblical.... but not enough scripture for the new believer to take and read the Word of God in addition to this fine teaching tool. Still, it's well worth the money and will make a good reference tool for years to come.

A "mini" systematic theology-like book,
By a concerned reader (Northern Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Truths of the Christian Faith (Paperback)
This book is concise thorough and extremely educational in nature. Meant for new christians and beginners in theological study in its layout but contentwise is fit for all christians. Its a wonderful joining of historical christian understanding and scriptural references into one book. Its about 100 some doctrinal areas. Sproul puts in the back of the book resources for continued reading in theological pursuits on beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Well worth the time and money!
