Handbook of Evangelical Theology: A Historical, Biblical, and Contemporary Survey and Review

A Balanced Survey and Discussion of Evangelical Positions on Key Bible Doctrines

Here is a unique survey of nine key Bible doctrines and the various positions within the evangelical church. The key doctrines covered are:

• God's Word-the Bible,
• God the Father,
• God the Son,
• God the Holy Spirit,
• God's Angels and Satan's Angels,
• God's Creation,
• God's Gift of Salvation,
• God's Church, and
• God's Plan for the Future.

Dr. Robert P. Lightner provides a historical perspective on each topic, a positive statement of the areas of agreement, and discussion of different positions held among evangelicals. Practical suggestions and study questions for applying the doctrine to the daily issues of Christian living are also included at the end of each chapter. Lightner's balanced and even-handed treatment of various theological positions and the breadth of coverage of beliefs among various evangelical groups make this one volume a helpful and reliable resource for doctrinal study.
