This review is from: Essential Christianity (Paperback)

Walter Martin, a real scholar and defender of orthodox Christianity is once again seen in this book doing what he does best. His work is short, but to the point and very well presented. Whether you know anything about Christian issues or beliefs or not, this book is worth the reading time. I have studied much longer books on doctrine, but few hit such important topics so well and in such an easy reading format.

This review is from: Essential Christianity (Paperback)

Walter Martin, founder of the "Bible Answer Man" program and author of sevreal books about cults wrote this text in 1962 about the essential doctrines of the Christian faith. The book's strength is that it is concise while not sacraficing scriptural analysis and well layed out arguemnts for the truth of the Christian doctrines presented in this text.

Of course, because Martin was a controversial and colorful personality, many may dismiss this book entirely, but most evangelicals will agree with this text. It is important to note, that though this book is not entirely in line with an Orthodox or Catholic perspective, many Christians from these branches (for lack of a better word) will learn from this book as well. In a 133 pages, Martin wrote a book that is interesting, informing and understandable as well.
