Summary of Christian Doctrine
Doctrine – Theology by
Louis Berkhof
Just as Berkhof’s Systematic Theology is outstanding in its own field, his Summary of Christian Doctrine is unequalled as a popular handbook of Christian doctrine, written from an evangelical and reformed standpoint. Systematically arranged and helpfully subdivided, A Summary of Christian Doctrine has proved ideal for church study groups. Passages for memorization and questions for review at the close of each chapter enhance the book’s value for the student.
The Gospel of Christ vs Carnal Christianity
Doctrine – Theology by
L.R. Shelton
“To confirm to the believer the basis of faith which includes
repentance from sin, so that he might defend true
faith against the confusing and false gospel often
preached today: “making a decision for Christ,” without
any real commitment or submission to Christ as Lord in a
pursuit of holiness”
The Attributes of God
Doctrine – Theology by
A.W. Pink
“”The Attributes of God”” has become a Christian classic in our time. Unlike other more devotional treatments, Pink considers the Biblical evidence for each of God’s attributes and gives in-depth insight into His character and very nature. The reader leaves each chapter both exalting God and better understanding “Him with whom we have to do.”
Attributes studied include God’s solitariness, Decrees, Knowledge, Supremacy, Sovereignty, Immutability, Holiness, Power, Faithfulness, Goodness, Patience, Grace, Mercy, Love, Wrath, and Contemplation. Arthur W. Pink was born in Nottingham, England in 1886, and born again of the Spirit of God in 1908.
The doctrine of Sanctification
Doctrine – Theology by
A.W. pink
The doctrine of sanctification is at the very heart of the gospel message; for it answers the mysterious and all-important question, “How can an impure sinner approach a holy God?” It is also among the most difficult doctrines to study exhaustively, due to the hundreds of passages which speak to the topic, in a myriad of diversely complementary ways. Few persons have unraveled the threads in as comprehensive and practical a way as A.W. Pink. The Doctrine of Sanctification is highly recommended to anyone passionate about pursuing a life of true holiness!
Saving Faith
Doctrine – Theology by
A.W.Pink
“It is generally recognized that spirituality is at low ebb in Christendom and not a few perceive that sound doctrine is rapidly on the wane, yet many of the Lord’s people take comfort from supposing that the Gospel is still being widely preached and that large numbers are being saved thereby. Alas, their optimistic supposition is ill-founded and sandy grounded. If the “message” now being delivered in Mission Halls be examined, if the “tracts” which are scattered among the unchurched masses be scrutinized, if the “open-air” speakers be carefully listened to, if the “sermons” or “addresses” of a “Soul-winning campaign” be analyzed.
Calvin on Self Denial
Doctrine – Theology by
John Calvin
Calvin on Self-Denial is a fitting introduction for the modern church to Calvin’s masterpiece, Institutes of the Christian Religion, first published in 1536. This excerpt is a timely look at Christ’s teaching on taking up one’s cross, denying oneself of all worldliness, and following Him regardless of the cost.
The Centrality and Supremacy of Christ
Doctrine – Theology by
T.A.Sparks
The Centrality and Supremacy of Christ; It is upon the centrality and supremacy of the Son of God’s love that we shall dwell as the Lord will enable us. The Word of God brings into view four spheres in which that thought and purpose of God concerning the Son of His love is to be realized. There is the sphere of the believer’s own individual life; then secondly, there is the sphere of the Church which is His Body; in the third place there is the sphere of the kingdoms of this world, the nations of the earth;
