This week’s book of the week is Wayne Grudem’s Christian Beliefs: 20 Basics Every Christian Should Know. Â This book is a condensed version of the condensed version of his first systematic theology textbook. Â The big one that I read in college is 1,290 pages, and he has a condensed version of 528 pages. Â This volume is down to 159.
I’ve always known Grudem had a brilliant mind. Â Just recently, I discovered he’s my hero as he shared a testimony concerning marriage at Family Life’s Art of Marriage conference. Â He is truly loving his wife the way Christ loved the church. Â Never imagined this great theologian as such a romantic!
So much good stuff in here. Â A short chapter on each belief. Â Lots of scripture references and study. Â I’ll give you 10 great lines from the first chapters to whet your appetite!
