520			_aIf you yearn for a deeper knowledge of the Christian faith, your journey can begin right here. Dr. R.C. Sproul, one of today's most respected theologians, takes Christian doctrine down from the dusty shelves of theological libraries and gives a clear overview of more than 100 biblical concepts that every Christian should know, written in an easy-to-understand way. Essential Truths of the Christian Faith is a great place to begin learning about Christian doctrine and to kindle a lifelong love for truth. It is also a great resource for seasoned students of theology who wanted a frefresher. Sproul's bite-size chapters and homespun illustrations from contemporary life make this book accessible, practical, and relevant.--Back cover.
