Christian Faith in Turbulent Times

De: Charles Partee, Andrew Purves

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Christian doctrine gives order to the Christian life – what people believe, know, and what they do about God’s message of salvation. In this clear and helpful introduction to doctrine, Purves and Partee focus on the basic issues of Christian faith as filtered through contemporary experience: the mystery of faith, justification and sanctification, salvation, sin, the sacraments, hope, and joy. Useful for both group and individual study or in the classroom, this guide brings the doctrines of the Christian faith to life, and helps readers understand the relevance of these doctrines in day-to-day experience.

For some of us, thinking about God is a practical matter – indeed the most practical matter, for if we think wrongly, we will live wrongly. This book instructs us in right thinking about God and what that means for the way we live.
Eugene H. Peterson, Professor Emeritus of Spiritual Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia

A generous and thought-provoking work. The use of autobiography is so engaging that the book held my attention like a novel but enriched me like only a serious work of theology can do.
