Customer Reviews

Balanced View of Theology

I really enjoyed this book. It's one of the better theology books I've read. What makes this book a 5 star book is the practically of the faith that the author instills and its balanced undertaking of different doctrines. Scholes tells you up front what he considers convictions (essentials of the Christian faith), persuasions, and opinions. Definitely a top notch book for new Christians and those that want a quick yet very practical refresher.

Great Bible Study Book

I was very impressed by the way this book handled differing theological positions within the faith. But what impressed me most were the references to outside reading that Scholes both agreed and disagreed with. It is refreshing to see a book like this available.

Theology made Experiential

The beauty of this book lies in its ability to take sometimes complex theological issues and relate them to the experiences of real-life. Never dull, this story-filled, personalized treatment of the Christian faith makes understanding basic doctrine an adventure to be enjoyed instead of a task to be endured. Especially helpful are the personal application questions at the end of each chapter that spark thoughtful reflection on how these ideas can and should impact the way you live in and experience the real world.

Clear and spiritual introduction to basic Christian theology

Dr. Scholes book is a wonderfully clear introduction to the basic components of evangelical Christian theology. Richly illustrated with personal anecdotes, Dr. Scholes has bridged the gap between hard-core theological reference books and fluff pop-theology. I hold advanced degrees, yet was very much impressed and even spiritually moved by this rich little volume. I'm putting it very high on my list of recommended books for beginners in Christian theology, possibly even higher than _Mere Christianity_.
