Customer Reviews

Theologically sound and practical

Larry Hart does an great job utilizing historical theological figures and major figures within the Christian religion. He is theologically sound and presents theology in a manner that is understandable. Informative and fun to read and a great tool to use in a bible study. I highly recommend this book to any Christian who would like to have a more complete understanding of their belief system. Great book!

J. I. Packer's endorsement

"Evangelical and expository, didactic and devotional, conservative and charismatic, biblical and baptistic, American and Arminian, this ABC of Christian theology overflows with good things, and will bring light and joy to most readers at most points." J. I. Packer

Theology That is Fun to Read!

Think that theology is boring? Do you believe studying Christian doctrine is unspiritual? Does considering what people of the Christian faith believe sound like something that would not be fun? Well think again! My friend Larry Hart has written a wonderful book about an exciting subject-Christian theology. He writes with clarity, passion and joy about God, Christ, salvation, faith, hope and love-and much more. His book is well-informed by evangelical theology and an openness to the work of the Holy Spirit. The book is wise, "sound" would be another way of describing it. It is scholarly, but not dense reading, there is a joy for the subject that shines through to the reader. My friend obviously loves theology and the Lord! Pastors (I'm one of them!) will find this book helpful in their preparation of sermons, I certainly have found it helpful. It would also be a good text for theological schools to use in classes or for pastors to read for their own spiritual and intellectual growth. Take up and read and enjoy!

Excellent Introduction to Christian Theology

The first word that comes to mind to describe Truth Aflame is readable. Larry Hart writes in an informal, understandable style. He covers the basics of Christian theology in a concise yet comprehensive way. This is an excellent introduction to the study of Christian theology. The bibliographic notes provide a wide range of sources for continuing one's own study. The book's introduction and the chapter on Faith are well worth the price of the book.
