The Faith of the Church

Theology

“Complete and accurate enough to meet the needs of the theological student, but very interesting and readable also for the general membership of the church. The book is a manual of doctrine, presenting the substance of the faith of the church. The doctrines presented are illumined by references to the Bible and cross references to other teachings of the church. Of particular value is the historical approach, which enables the reader to discern the process — including struggle, trial and error, steady growth in understanding, and ultimately the Spirit's guidance — by which the positions described were reached. Writing out of a solid grounding in the Reformed faith, Dr. Osterhaven shows both due appreciation and incisive criticism of positions with which his tradition does not agree. The entire work reflects a clarity and articulateness born of many years of teaching experience.”
