Summary of Christian Doctrine
by Louis Berkhof

Description
We admire this book for its clarity and for its fresh presentation of familiar material. The lessons are short and to the point. We know of no book on doctrine we would rather recommend to those who want a volume to which they can turn for a brief but sufficiently complete statement of the Bible's teachings.Tags

Needless to say I am cast into the outer darkness of pelagians, rationalists, deists and pantheists as thinking that general revelation ( God as revealed in the facts forces and laws of nature etc) is sufficient rather then the need for special revelation as embodied in the bible. And I keep company with the ebionities of the early church as well as contemporary Unitarians as stressing that Jesus was a man alone. But then I am a dissenter to the Nicene Creed so no hope for me.
Clearly not the purpose of the book but it gives you a clear starting point of why you differ or agree with mainstream opinion!
