A Christian Primer: More Than Just the Fundamentals

By: S. H. Shepherd

Many people who read the Bible, including Christians, have difficulty with it. To appreciate the teachings of the Holy Scriptures and apply them to our lives, we must understand them. We must grasp their meaning and significance to our lives. Although called a Primer, this book is more than an introduction to the Christian religion. It goes beyond just the fundamentals. It steers a middle course between a too detailed exposition of the faith and a too shallow and purely descriptive one. It combines Biblical passages with the insights needed to understand them, including many of the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. It presents a thought-provoking and well-balanced explanation of what it means to be a Christian (which may surprise some readers), and emphasizes the significance of responding to the gospel message. The first three chapters deal with fundamentals of the religion that set it apart from all other religions and makes it the most preferred and practiced religion in the world. The following chapters provide more detail, and are included to stimulate the reader to pursue Bible study. It provides the encouragement needed for readers to decide for themselves whether or not they want to embrace the faith, and makes them aware of the many costs that it entails.
