A Basic Primer for the Christian Faith

With so many views, so many books and so many years of history, it can be overwhelming to find a great "primer" on the Christian faith. Chirstians and non-Christians alike will benefit from this short but jam-packed work by Ron Rhodes, a very gifted writer and educator. In just 15 chapters, Rhodes tackles the big questions and sheds light on a number of teachings, traditions, and "in-house" debates that is likely to start you in a conversation on what the Bible really teaches. There are ample Scripture quotations to get you into the Bible itself. The helpful Notes Section and Bibliography points you to further resources on specific topics. Each chapter ends with a set of discussion questions that help you explore more of your understandings either on your own or to be used in a group setting. While it is helpful to read through the book chapter by chapter, you can easily jump to a particular topic of interest. It is a must-have for both new and mature Christians alike.

clear, easy to understand, excellent

In Christianity According To the Bible Ron Rhodes has given us a clear, easy to understand, description of what the Bible says about God, Jesus, human sin, salvation, the church, angels, Satan, end times, and more. He use plenty of scripture references to back up what he says. I hadn't read anything by Ron Rhodes before, but I'm happy to have discovered him. I've taught God's Word for 40 years and I found this to be an outstanding resource and teaching tool, one I'll refer back to time and again. In my opinion Christianity According to The Bible is an excellent book for any Christian who wants a clear understanding of what God's Word says about these important subjects.
