Essential Truths of the Christian Faith

What are the fundamentals of the Christian faith? In Essential Truths of the Christian Faith, RC Sproul helps those who yearn for a deeper walk of faith.

Accesible Systematic Theology

This book makes systematic theology accessible. Sproul takes on more than 100 biblical concepts that every Christian should know, distills them to their fundamentals. The chapters are short, and Sproul’s theological precision is on full display.

Sproul gives a layman’s introduction to the nature and attributes of God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, human beings and the fall, salvation, the church, our spiritual lives, and the end times. He touches on different aspects of these topics, with each section being a short several pages. He gives one-sentence summaries at the end of every chapter, and provides biblical passages for reflection. 

Clear and Compelling

One of Sproul’s strengths are his illustrations. For instance, in describing sin, he begins by stating that “Sin can be pictured as an archer releasing an arrow from his bow and missing the target.” The book also excels at presenting the Reformed views of these doctrines with clarity and rationale. This book takes the mind and heart of RC Sproul, and spurs you on to Christ.

Whether you are a new believer or a seasoned saint, this book will give you the truth of God’s Word in a clear and compelling way.
