Description

Mindful of the great importance of the proper indoctrination of the young people of the church, Louis Berkhof wrote this comprehensive yet concise introduction to the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith from a Reformed perspective.

Basing this work on his own full-scale Systematic Theology, Berkhof summarizes the body of church doctrine, beginning with the doctrines of Scripture and God and proceeding through statements on anthropology, Christology, soteriology, ecclesiology, and eschatology.

Conveying profound theological exposition with exceptionally clear and simple language, Manual of Christian Doctrine is ideally suited for high school and college classes, for Bible classes and study groups, and for interested general readers. Study questions and suggestions for further reading follow each chapter, and the organization of the text in outline form is highly conducive to quick reference and review.
