The Search for Truth: Biblical Doctrine 101
How can we know what is true-and how can we distinguish biblical doctrine from interpretation, tradition, and personal opinion?
The Search for Truth: Biblical Doctrine 101 invites readers on a thoughtful journey through the central teachings of the Christian faith. Written in a conversational and accessible style, this book examines what Christians believe, why they believe it, and how those beliefs shape everyday life.
Across forty-two chapters, Greg Andringa explores the major doctrines of Christianity, including Scripture, God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, humanity, sin, salvation, the church, angels, spiritual warfare, and the last things. Each subject is grounded in Scripture while also drawing from theology, history, language, and Christian scholarship.
Rather than avoiding difficult questions or demanding agreement without examination, The Search for Truth encourages readers to think carefully, search the Scriptures, and recognize the difference between what the Bible explicitly teaches and what Christians have concluded through interpretation or tradition. Its "Four D's" framework-Decide, Debate, Divide, and Die-helps readers understand which beliefs are essential to the Christian faith, which deserve serious discussion, and which should not divide believers.
Designed for individual study, small groups, adult Sunday school classes, and anyone seeking a clearer understanding of Christian doctrine, this book makes theology approachable without treating it casually.
The search for truth is not merely an intellectual exercise. What we believe about God ultimately shapes how we understand ourselves, how we treat others, and how we live.
