Encountering God: Christian Faith in the Turbulent Times

Christian doctrine gives order to the Christian life-what people believe, know, and what they do about God's message of salvation. In this clear and helpful introduction, Purves and Partee focus on the basic issues of Christian faith as filtered through contemporary experience: the mystery of faith, justification and sanctification, salvation, sin, the sacraments, hope, and joy. Useful for group, individual, or classroom study, this guide brings the doctrines of the Christian faith to life, and helps readers understand their relevance in day-to-day experience.
