“DOCTRINE” - Mark Driscoll

A NEW BOOK by Mark Driscoll & Gerry Breashears will be published in the USA on 31 March 2010.

It is called ” DOCTRINE : What Christians should believe ”  ( hardback 525 pages ). The publisher’s blurb states :

Doctrine is the word Christians use to define the truth-claims revealed in Holy Scripture. Of course there is a multitude of churches, church networks, and denominations, each with their own doctrinal statement with many points of disagreement. But while Christians disagree on a number of doctrines, there are key elements that cannot be denied by anyone claiming to be a follower of Jesus.

In Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe, Driscoll and Breshears teach thirteen of these key elements. This meaty yet readable overview of basic doctrine will help Christians clarify and articulate their beliefs in accordance with the Bible.
-Publisher.


A free 33 page chapter download is available now at :

Books like this are necessary, and new ones should reach to their own times.
My first one was “Mere Christianity” but later “In Understanding Be Men” then “Evangelical Christianity”. (The latter being Calvinist)
