James Packer's Basic Christian Truths
 |
Description
Book Introduction
Everything about Christianity, preached by James Packer, a master of evangelical doctrine!
This is James Packer's masterpiece, following in the footsteps of Luther's Larger and Shorter Catechisms, Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion, G.K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy, and CS Lewis's Mere Christianity.
A top-notch commentary on Christian truth that covers the three representative creeds of Christianity: the Apostles' Creed (contents of the Christian faith), the Lord's Prayer (communion with God), and the Ten Commandments (rules of conduct), and includes important topics such as baptism and conversion.
It is a worthy defensive wall of orthodox faith that can block the temptation of heresy by firmly establishing the foundation of faith for both new and existing believers.
“My motivation for writing this book was to provide resources for those who are studying the Bible in groups or for those who are studying on their own because they cannot attend such groups.
In this respect, this book complements my book, "Knowing God" (IVP), which is used in numerous Bible study groups... I hope this book will be used in every church that holds to the historic faith... Christianity is not an instinctive faith for anyone, nor is it a faith that can be chosen by chance without effort.
Christianity needs to be taught because it needs to be learned.
Therefore, ‘systematic teaching’ is absolutely necessary in church life... (From the introduction)
It is perfect for use as a new believer's class textbook, a youth and adult doctrine study textbook, and a district class.
