Basic Christianity

A remarkable resource from one of our most beloved leaders! In Basic Christianity John Stott clearly explains the fundamental claims of the Christian faith and explores how these beliefs impact the lives of believers. This volume is perfect for seekers who are desperate to know whether Christianity makes sense and believers who long for a deeper understanding of Christian belief. This resource deserves a place on every disciple's shelf.

We order these books in bulk for our church. They are passed out free to first time guests. We have had some great feedback on these books. Out of all the ones that looked at regarding a basic view of Christianity, this one was the most simple yet covered the important basics.

I was looking for a good short and to the point book to put into people's hands that they could grasp the work of Christ on the cross. This book is excellent for this purpose. I found myself cheering the theme on with zeal as I read the book. I am going to order the book in quantity and get to work. Pastor Bruce.

Excellent book! Exceptional presentation of the "Basics." I recommend this book to any one interested in understanding the truth of Christianity.

Well written in a purposeful and clear style. I have no quips with the content nor extent of this book. Those essential elements and doctrines of Christianity are well spelled out and those wishing yet more clarification or depth can use this book as their important initial step to knowledge. A great book to offer a young believer or to strengthen the nomimal. The Trinity while not deliberately outlined, is evident to anyone who has some background in rationality - if all three persons of the Trinity are equal in all respects and all God, then this Doctrine is well represented with many direct quotes from Scripture. I particularly like that Stott reveals those necessary duties of Christians (not for salvation but part of justification). Too often the Christian is informed that naught but his mental assent is needed. Here Stott delineates those crucial outward elements incumbent upon those that claim a true fellowship with Christ!

This is an outstanding book that all Christians should read. It reminds us of who Christ is, what he has done for us, and how we should respond. I recommend it as a discipling tool.

This is a great book. If you are new to the faith, or have lost your way temporarily, this book explains simply what it means to be a totally committed Christian.

Reviewed by Dan S. (Minneapolis, MN), June 21, 2007

A real gem! Great read for the newer believer or as a refresher for the longtime believer. Stott's work does as it says by building the basic Christian foundation from the bottom up in a readable and straight forward way.
