Fundamentals of Christianity A Bible Study and Guide

What is truth? Who is God? Who is Jesus Christ? Who am I? What is the meaning of life, and death? Answers to these questions can be found in Dr. Andrew Barber's book, Fundamentals of Christianity: A Bible Study and Guide (Fourth Edition). In this book, Christian principles, ethics, doctrines, and beliefs are explored, examined, and explained using the Bible as the authoritative source. Biblical cross-referencing of topics guides the reader through the essentials of the one true faith. A keyword index enables rapid search of subjects and scriptures. Learn about God, His works, and His will, and teach others. Increase in knowledge and discover the mysteries revealed in God's sacred Word, where you will find answers to your questions, problems, desires, hopes, and dreams (sola scriptura). Topics, definitions, scriptures, and discussions have been derived directly from God's Word, the Holy Bible. You will discover after each Bible reading that your understanding grows. You become evermore certain of its accuracy, reliability, and verity, and are better prepared to counter arguments of those who distort or dismiss biblical truth. Now in its fourth edition, this book was first published in 1999. After twenty years and three upgrades the book has grown from 500 to 800 pages, representing over four decades of biblical research. A Kirkus reviewer wrote the following about the previous (3rd) edition. "What do Christians actually believe? Barber, himself a practicing Christian, lays it all out in this study guide, which is meant to be used in conjunction with the Old and New Testaments as a resource for 'anyone and everyone who seeks God's knowledge and truth'. The book's organization makes it an easily consulted reference, providing introductions to--and thorough investigation of--major topics such as God, Jesus Christ, living as a Christian, and the nature of evil and sin, as well as the Bible itself. Barber's guide manages to bring together various passages, relating to concepts like the Trinity or the Second Coming, and compare them. As a result, the guide provides more digestible descriptions of these ideas than one would receive from reading the Bible alone."
