5.0 out of 5 stars Unique exposition of the Doctrine of Certainty., June 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Basic Theology (Hardcover)

The disctinct value of the book is that it delivers the simple language exposition of the one of the most fundamental Biblical doctrines, namely ASSURANCE OF SALVATION. The author devotes a separate chapter to this topic, however all the rest of the book, while presenting the Basics of Christian Biblical Theology, builds towards this great Truth, formulates solid logical and doctrinal fundaments of what the author calls the Doctrine of Certainty. The Good News of Salvation in Christ is made explicit and goes in line with Apostle John's concern "so you may know that you have eternal life" (1 Jn 5:13).

5.0 out of 5 stars Free Bible Doctrines Course Using This Book, October 28, 1997

This review is from: Basic Theology (Hardcover)

Written by a leading Bible scholar from the Dallas Theological Seminary, this is a clear and logical presentation of the beliefs of conservative Chirstians. I can find no better guide to Bible doctrines written at the introductory college level. It is an excellent resource for teaching, as each chapter contains enough information to prepare one adult Sunday School lesson.

A free Bible Doctrines course is available using this book (and others) from: http://www.sunlink.net/~brron

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good!!! Get it!!, June 1, 1998

By 

"kerry195" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Basic Theology (Hardcover)

Dr. Ryrie does a good job in stripping down the heavy theological terms associated with all of the areas of theology constantly discussed. This book is definitely a good buy for any NEW Christian or any believer who wants a good reference tool. For those who want to get into the 'heavier' aspects of theological discussion, you might want to pick up Paul Enns 'Moody Handbook of Theology' also for sale on this site. (*note to Amazon.com folks- link this part to the Moody Handbook of Theology* and erase my note *smile*)
