Early Christian Doctrine

Doctrine by 
Leighton Pullan

With the organization of different sects of Christianity with various beliefs, it’s easy to get confused on which to believe in. The confusion piles up as time pass by, so what can we do to remove it? We can study the doctrine close to the era when Jesus lived.
In this book, Pullan presents the teachings of Christianity in its early years until the Council of Chalcedon in A.D. 451. It covers essential theological thoughts such as Trinity, atonement, and sacraments. The author omitted some references and quotations, not to hide anything but only to concisely explain the concept. This simple format is best for most readers who want to understand the doctrine accepted by the early Christians. So let’s view how the Early Christians see the Word of God.

Jesus Christ The Real Story

Hebrew Roots  by 
Unknown

Some claim He is only a myth, while others say He was merely a man. But who was the real Jesus Christ? And what does His life and message mean today? Confusion about Jesus abounds! Some believe He was merely an influential preacher in the first century. A few claim that He never existed and is only a myth! But who was the real Jesus Christ? Have you ever looked at what the Bible actually says about Jesus? What was He doing when He was on planet Earth—and what is He doing now for you, and for your future? The story of Jesus Christ goes much deeper than His crucifixion and resurrection. Few will dispute that a man named Jesus Christ lived 2,000 years ago and that He was a great teacher ”

Old Testament Types and Teachings by Hannah Whitall Smith

Old Testament Types and Teachings

Reference  by 
Hannah Whitall Smith

Book by book study of the Old Testament and how they point to the New Testament (with referenced verses). But I have found in my own heart, and in the hearts of many others, a certain spiritual sense which has led us instinctively to accept and enjoy this application of the Old Testament Scriptures, and it is to such I speak in this book. Nor are we without large warrant in the New Testament for this typical or symbolical interpretation, as in many instances the inspired writers there, make just such an application of the Old Testament narratives. Notice especially the positive declaration made in 1 Cor. x. 1-11 concerning the story of the children of Israel: “Now all these things were our types;” and again, “Now all these things happened unto them for types.”

It is being used as a textbook in theological seminaries worldwide. Berkhof is a prolific writer who presented his theology in a clear, lively, and relatively comprehensible style that even an ordinary layman can understand.

Holy War Novel

Spiritual Warfare  by 
John Bunyan

What is Spiritual Warfare? The book Holy War by John Bunyan unlocks understanding and ways on how to overcome this silent battle. It sets out to evoke the fall and salvation of mankind under the guise of a besieged city just like one of the Bible’s most reassuring themes – the triumph of good over evil. It demonstrates how even the most devout can be led astray by listening to the world at large rather than God’s letter to us, the Holy Bible. It is an intriguing narrative for both adults and children that serve as a reminder to all that we must remain firm in our faith. It shows how even the finest of intentions can be undone by subtle transgression.
Bunyan exhibits struggles in this book as well-depicted and truly relatable to modern lives.
