Description

In this revised edition of a formerly four-volume work, James Boice provides a readable overview of all the major doctrines of Christian theology in one volume.Boice carefully opens the topics like the nature of God, the character of his natural and special revelation, the fall, and the person and work of Christ with scholarly rigor and a pastor’s heart.The text then covers the work of the holy spirit in justification and sanctification, and closes with careful discussion of ecclesiology and eschatology.Throughout the book, Boice maintains a remarkable practicality and thoroughness that will benefit both students and pastors alike, and will make Foundations of the Christian Faith a standard reference and text for years to come.
