Review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A Gospel PreacherBy BillI heard Dr. Lutzer in an interview with Janet Parshall; which featured this book. I ordered it almost immediately. I got several for my ministry peers and mentors and got a very positive response from our association' s moderator. Our association is one of the oldest in the country and unfortunately even among Missionary Baptist's; there has been a falling away from sound doctrine.Dr. Lutzer is scholarly; yet has a gift to communicate to the common blue-collar person. He writes with a strong conviction for the authority of Scripture and draws directly from it for his teaching.I agree with other reviews that it's a great introduction into historically divisive doctrines without getting overly mired in details. Those who disagree may have wanted to see more of their side presented but I don't believe that is the purpose of this book. I believe that the writer wants to lead his readers to what he believes is the truth; the Gospel of Jesus Christ.If you like this book; check out Dr. Lutzer's other books. Another one of my favorites is "Seven Reasons Why you Can Trust the Bible."3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A fine resource for clear scriptural doctrineBy DargraceLutzer remains; for me; one of my favourite authors on the doctrines and life of the Christian. In this important work; he clearly presents the historical timeline of church doctrines; including that of predestination and election. Lutzer strives to glorify God alone. I have read several of his works and trust Him implicitly. For anyone struggling in the faith; for one who desires clear explanations about Doctrine of the early church until now; trust Lutzer. Topics discussed in the book are baptism; child baptism; election and predestination; Calvinism vs Armenianism and eternal security. I came away from the book with a clearer understanding of what I believe and the ability to share it with others.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Clear; concise and informative.By Kindle CustomerI read this as part of my research and took copious notes from this book. Lutzer is one of my most trusted teachers. I keep returning to his work for almost every project I write.
