About This Book

A series of lectures offers a practical restatement of essential Christian convictions for readers shaped by modern intellectual movements. It surveys religion, the Bible, the person and significance of Jesus, the nature of God, the meaning of the Cross, individual and social aspects of the new life, the church, and eternal life. Engaging trends such as Romanticism and critical scholarship, the author distinguishes core certainties from secondary doctrines, seeks intelligible language for belief, and argues for faith grounded in moral experience, communal life, and reasonable evidence rather than unexamined tradition.
