John Benton (2)

In a society where the claim that we can know absolute truth is dismissed as ridiculous, and moral standards are disregarded if they interfere with personal enjoyment, the church is under threat in two ways. Tired of swimming against the tide, it can be tempted to throw away its commitment to biblical standards of behavior and to the uniqueness of Christ as the only Lord and Savior in the quest for social acceptability. At the same time, in a longing to see God at work in revival and the show more desire to be seen to be successful, Christians may be open to accept anything that causes a sensation and attracts a crowd, even if it departs from the biblical gospel. The epistle of Jude was written to combat false teaching which in many ways encapsulates all the worst dangers to the church and the biblical gospel today. John Benton urges his readers to regain Jude's vision of contending for the faith, not just at the intellectual level, but at the level of responsible Christian living and practical, loving Christianity for those led astray. show less

A thin booklet that presents a straight-forward summary of the gospel for those who may be considering the Christian Faith for the first time.

Finally back in print! Many Christians who recognize that disciplined, systematic study is essential to Christian growth find it difficult to organize such a task. Written as an instructional manual, this volume's units lead the student through Biblical teaching on God, His character, sovereignty, man and his sin, its fruits, and the path of grace known in Christ. An excellent "primer" in the doctrines of grace for high school students.
