Basic Bible Doctrine, Part 1
"FIRST PRINCIPLES OF CHRISTIANITY" FOREWORD This booklet is set forth by the writer with the desire that all believers will come to the unity of the faith (Eph. 4:3-7). An effort has been made to present the first principles of Christianity in a positive format. Although the religious world is filled with conflicting doctrines, we have not tried specifically to identify errors and expose their inconsistencies. Instead we have tried to "give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you" (I Peter 3:15). However, when presenting the positive truths of the Bible, one cannot help but defend them by making some contrasts with doctrines that differ. It is our prayer that all who study this booklet will do so with an open Bible and an open mind. The first five lessons have been used by this writer in teaching home Bible classes. They can be adapted for use in conjunction with a filmstrip series on the survey of the Bible, or they can be used effectively by themselves. Whether this workbook is used in private study or public classes, we pray that much good will result to the glory of God. Robert Harkrider Copyright (c) 1986 by Robert Harkrider BASIC BIBLE DOCTRINE
