Essential Christian Doctrine: A Handbook on Biblical Truth

Doctrine not only equips Christians with more knowledge about God, it also shapes their affections toward him and directs their actions for him. This concise handbook of Christian doctrine was developed to teach the truths of Scripture and help Christians apply those truths. Systematizing the robust theology that has served as the foundation for John MacArthur’s well-known preaching ministry for half a century, this resource surveys theological topics such as the Bible, the Holy Spirit, salvation, the church, and more. With discussion questions at the end of each chapter, readers will engage with the pillars of Christian orthodoxy in a way that will encourage their hearts, inform their minds, and direct their actions as they seek to proclaim the faith that was “once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3).
