This third volume of
What We Believe and Why is another anthology of essays addressing key doctrinal Bible issues. The 31 chapters provide detailed explanations loaded with scriptural apologetics and multiple Scripture references. This book is dedicated to sound exegesis and hermeneutics. Like volumes one and two, this book is in annotated outline form, making it ideal for teaching and systematic Bible study.
These 31 in-depth studies cover a wide range of theological issues all with a very practical approach. None of these were addressed in the first two volumes. The book starts with a serious study of the importance of a Christian's spirit and attitude. It challenges readers to avoid the Pied Piper approach, and to think for themselves. This book deals with World Views, and shows that everybody has one. It takes a hard look at who we are, and at what God wants from every human. There is much information in this book on Jesus Christ including critical evidence proving Him to be the true Messiah. Another section looks at worshiping God, especially at the fact that to be valid with God, it must get past rituals, empty formality and distractions.
There is extensive material the work of the Holy Spirit. This section involves the current work of Christ, and provides clarity into indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. A highly misunderstood truth is the work of the Holy Spirit in the transitional era during the time of Christ's earthly ministry and the age of the apostles during which the New Testament was being given and the Bible finalized. This book sheds much light on the transitional era including the highly misunderstood
Baptism of the Holy Ghost. There's an exegetical trip through Romans 10, a critical look at
The Sinner's Prayer, justification by faith and the eternal security of the believer.
