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.
