An Evangelical Orthodox Guide to Christian Theology, by Gary Ray Branscome
Christiansneed theology. Though we often hear "Ijust have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ" we need to know whoJesus is,what He has done for us, and what He would have us do. For that, along with all of the other issuesthat these questions raise--plus, the need to protect ourselves from the manyfalse beliefs that could lead us astray--we need theology.
GaryBranscome here has performed the valuable task of connecting theology back tothe Word of God.Or, perhaps bettersaid, of drawing out the theology taught by the Bible.
Thus,the title of this book is An Evangelical Orthodox Guide to ChristianTheology.The book is "evangelical," in the sense of the early Reformers who were called by that name, being focusedon the "evangel," the gospel of salvation through faith in the work of JesusChrist.It is "orthodox," in the senseof upholding the right doctrine of the historic church as set forth in theBible.And it is a "guide," in the senseof leading the reader into the depths of God's revelation.
