Description
Book SynopsisWhat beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation.
A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible. But they might be stuck if a stranger asked them to explain what they believe and why they believe it.
Author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton unpacks the essential and basic beliefs that all Christians share in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to our lives today. And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian!
Core Christianity covers topics like:
- Jesus as both fully God and fully man.
- The doctrine of the Trinity.
- The goodness of God despite a broken world.
- The ways God speaks.
- The mea
