Two respected pastors make a compelling case for the need to recover the five fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith.
There is no question that we live in an age of weak theology and casual Christianity. And this situation will continue as long as God's people insist on substituting intuition for truth, feeling for belief, and immediate gratification for enduring hope. Yet if believers will again denounce this self-centered faith and place Christ and his cross at the center of its vision, the church will see great days once more. According to authors James Montgomery Boice and Philip Graham Ryken, this will happen when believers specifically return to the gospel foundation with its doctrines of radical depravity, unconditional election, particular redemption, efficacious grace, and persevering grace.
As these two noted pastors provide a compelling exposition of these essential truths, they also consider the current challenges, leaving no doubt that the church suffers when the doctrines of grace are neglected. Only in a faith that is practical-minded, kindhearted, and Bible-based will Christians recover what they have lost in this postmodern age.
James Montgomery Boice was senior minister of the historic Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, PA for thirty (30) years, while being a leading spokesman for the Reformed faith until his death in June 2000. He taught on an international radio broadcast, The Bible Study Hour, was a prolific author, and served for ten years as Chairman of the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy.
Philip Graham Ryken is the senior minister at Tenth Presbyterian Church, having served there under Dr. Boice from 1995-2000 and succeeding him as senior minister since. He is author of several books.
