The Basics of Christian Belief: Bible, Theology, and Life's Big Questions Paperback - 2020
by Joshua Strahan
From the rear cover
"It's hard to imagine a better primer for Christian belief"
"It's hard to imagine a better primer for Christian belief than this one. Scripture, the Apostles' Creed, scientific discovery, life's puzzles, uncomfortable faith claims: Josh Strahan takes them all seriously in this wise and engaging book."
--Joel B. Green, Fuller Theological Seminary
"Relevant. Faithful. Informed. Conversation stirring. Too many books that introduce Christianity are tendentious or get lost in minutiae. While engaging Scripture, creed, and worldview challenges, Strahan compels the reader to attend to the questions that matter most."
--Matthew W. Bates, author of Salvation by Allegiance Alone and Gospel Allegiance
"In a single volume, Strahan provides a concise introduction to the overarching narrative of the Christian Scriptures, to the key tenets of Christian theology, and to the important questions that stem from a distinctive Christian worldview. He couples deep theological work with engaging writing to produce an accessible and important introductory text."
--Heather Gorman, Johnson University
"Strahan is a great teacher, and The Basics of Christian Belief gives us an excellent and useful depiction of how a great teacher does his craft. This book provides substantive and thoughtful engagement with the narrative of Scripture, the Apostles' Creed, and the immense difference it all makes."
--Lee C. Camp, author of Scandalous Witness: A Little Political Manifesto for Christians; host of Tokens Show
"Strahan provides a concise overview of the biblical story coupled with a brief introduction to the core Christian beliefs derived from the early creeds. Having established a narrative, he then addresses many of the questions college students have concerning the Bible and the God Christians confess to believe in. Students will appreciate that he writes clearly, concisely, and with great humility. I highly recommend this book."
--Rodney Ashlock, Abilene Christian University
"Strahan presents a case for why a Christian vision of the world remains compelling even in a cultural context filled with numerous other options. Whether you're a student, a member of the clergy, or a layperson interested in how to see the world Christianly, you are sure to find something life-giving in these pages. I highly recommend it."
--Kutter Callaway, co-director of Reel Spirituality, Fuller Theological Seminary
