"Primers like this―a trenchant reminder of the vital matters that lie at the heart of the Christian faith―are ever needful, and especially so in this theologically befuddled generation that is far too often heedless of the value of the past. Highly recommended!"
―Michael A. G. Haykin
Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
