I didn't quite know what to expect, having read numerous denominations and seminarians attempts to do what this book seems to accomplish simply and in a written style that any Christian can easily understand. This turns out to be an excellent summary of Biblical doctrine from a Lutheran perspective and I highly recommended it to all Christians.
Review of A Summary of Christian Doctrine
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
In a word, this book is the most informative on Christian Doctrine that I've ever read. I've been a Protestant since a young child, attending Sunday School and Church and hearing the stories of the Bible over and over again. But I still never knew more about my own religion until after reading this book. I have a habit of annotating pages containing information I want to find quickly in every nonfiction book I read. As a rule, I might make a dozen notes or so on the inside title (or blank) page. In the front of this book I made forty-five--each concept as enlightening as another! The book backs up every explanation of the facets of Doctrine by Biblical references to Chapter and Verse. (For Lutherans, the book also references the Book of Concord). I recommend this work to every Christian. Also to every non-believer who wants to gain insight into the Christian religion. Next to the Bible itself this is the most helpful book I've ever read. --Steve LaRose
