Paul E. Little did a great job covering many of the foundational beliefs of the Christian faith. The book is well organized, and each chapter is substantial but also short enough to be read in about 20 minutes. It is written for new believers but would also be a great resource for anyone who is curious about what the Bible teaches concerning: the Bible, God, Jesus Christ, His death, man and sin, the Holy Spirit, salvation, angels, Satan and demons, the church, and the end times.
It handled common questions that new believers will have to face: How do we know that the Bible is reliable? How do faith and works relate to our salvation? How should we respond to the Calvinism vs. Arminianism debate? What about man’s responsibility and God’s sovereignty? How can Jesus have a dual nature, being both fully God and fully man? And what about questions concerning the end times? Most of these questions, I know, are on the minds of many new believers, and I believe they are very important for them to understand.
I would recommend it to anyone who wants a crash course in Christian beliefs.
