Churches: The Christian Handbook Series Volume 3

By Alexander Seibel, Lothar Gassmann, Walter Rominger

What Does Your Church Believe?

Beliefs of Churches and Free Churches -
Evaluated from a Biblical Perspective

If you've always wanted to know what your church believes and what distinguishes it from other churches, you'll find the answers in this book. It is a reference work that examines the most widespread churches and free churches and scrutinizes their teachings in light of the Bible.
In addition, controversial topics are examined from a biblical perspective, such as: the Lord's Supper, elders, apostles, the worship of images, the ordination of women, cremation, the papacy, perfectionism, baptism, and speaking in tongues.

The editor, Dr. Lothar Gassmann, is a theologian and publicist. He was a lecturer in systematic theology, dogmatics, and apologetics and has authored over 200 books on biblical topics and current events.
