CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE
Basic Christianity by
John R. W. Stott. One of the world's best Bible teachers has explained in this book the
basic doctrines of the Christian faith. The author served as chaplain to the Queen of
England for 32 years until 1991, and since 1970 he has been traveling extensively
overseas, especially in the Third World, to speak at conferences for pastors and students.
I have heard him speak several time at the Urbana Missionary Confernce which is sponsored
by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, and he is a teacher I never get tired of hearing.
This book is organized into four main parts: Christ's Person; Man's Need; Christ's Work;
and Man's Response. This is the book we always give to those who want information about
what Christians believe and why. 142 pages. Cat. #IV-46901. $5.39-D
Creation
Evangelism for the New Millennium by Ken Ham. Master Books, trade paper.
The author takes the position that one cannot fully understand the Gospel without
interpreting the Book of Genesis literally. This book is his attempt to restore Biblical
teaching to a church he sees falling away from its foundations in the Old Testament. Cat.

Knowing Christianity by
J.I. Packer, author of Knowing God. Trade
paper, InterVarsity Press, 1995. The same man who has shown many more about the character
of God now turns to the great doctrines of the Christian Church -- the only proper
foundation for spiritual experience. He begins with the central doctrines of God, the
Bible, Christ, and the Holy Spirit. From there he procedes to the main elements of the
Christian life -- Christian growth, prayer, worship, fellowship with other believers, and
our responsibilities as citizens. He concludes, appropriately, wiht a consideration of the
afterlife, God's judgment, and our reign with the ascended Christ. J. I Packer has taught
theology at Regent College in Vancovuver for many years and has written many other
books. 191 pages, including Scripture index. Cat. #IV-2216X. $9.89-D
