A must-read classic for Baptists and other Evangelicals

I bought this book because it was one of 12 volumes in a series. I've found it to be not only the best of the series, but one of the best books I've ever read. Dr. Mullins interprets the Christian faith via the belief that every soul is competant to relate to God without mediation through other humans or human institutions. From this conviction he draws six truths (axioms) of the faith. The axioms deal with one's relationship with God, other Christians, and society. The language is written on a common level (for 1908), but is rich and carefully expressed. In addition to the 12 chapters of the title there is an excellant selection of additional short writings by Dr. Mullins. This book has helped me to gain a new perspective of my beliefs and has strengthened my faith. My only complaint is that it lacks chapters 13-17, which I found in an original 1908 copy.
