Here is more about the books:

Christian Beliefs, Revised Edition

Not every Christian needs to go to seminary, but there are certain teachings of the Bible that every Christian should know. Whether you’re a relatively new believer in Jesus or a mature Christian looking for a better understanding of the basics of the faith, Christian Beliefs are for you.

This readable guide to twenty basic Christian beliefs condenses Wayne Grudem’s award-winning book Systematic Theology, prized by pastors and teachers everywhere. He and his son, pastor Elliot Grudem, have boiled down the essentials of theology for everyday Christians and made them both clear and applicable to life. Each brief chapter concludes with questions for personal review or group discussion.

In this revised and updated edition of Christian Beliefs, you will learn about:

  • The Bible and its authority for our lives
  • The characteristics of God
  • The importance of prayer
  • Angels and the reality of spiritual warfare
  • What it means that we are created in the image of God
  • What God has done for us in Christ
  • The purpose of the church
  • What will happen when Christ returns
  • The biblical understanding of heaven
  • And much more

Christian Beliefs is the ideal book for every Christian who wants a solid foundation for understanding the most basic and essential teachings of the Bible.
