So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13. Faith, hope, and love we hear a lot about each on their own, but how are they related? Why is this triad mentioned so often in the New Testament? Written in the form of fifty-eight questions and answers, this book reveals how these three theological virtues also referred to as three divine sisters together serve as the foundation for our whole Christian life. Deeply scriptural, steeped in key theological texts, and modeled after the classic catechisms of church history, this book will instruct our minds, stir our hearts, and motivate us to faith-filled obedience.--Back cover.
