Modern Christianity often trades the terrifying, majestic holiness of God for casual clich s and therapeutic self-help. But historic, orthodox theology was never meant to be a dry academic exercise confined to the ivory towers of seminaries. It was forged in the fires of controversy, defended by the blood of the martyrs, and designed to be the beating heart of your daily worship.
In Essential Doctrines and Principles of Systematic Theology, author Augustine Soren Wittgenstein rescues the core tenets of the Christian faith from obscurity and brings them vibrantly to life. By weaving together the towering intellects of church history, gripping historical narratives, and the infallible bedrock of Scripture, this book bridges the gap between rigorous doctrine and the everyday life of the modern believer.
Inside this comprehensive and highly readable volume, you will discover:
