In \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eRoots of Our Faith\u003c\/span\u003e, Morgan Byrd takes the reader on a journey through the rich doctrines of the Bible in a simple but thorough way, using the \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eAbstract of Principles \u003c\/span\u003e(1858) as a guide.\r\\n\r\\nThe \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eAbstract of Principles \u003c\/span\u003ehas long served as a summary of foundational biblical doctrines in Southern Baptist life. While brief, the \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eAbstract \u003c\/span\u003eis also diverse, clear, rich and rooted in the Scriptures. Byrd started using the \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eAbstract \u003c\/span\u003eas a base for teaching doctrine at his church, and this book is the eventual result of that teaching ministry.\r\\n\r\\nWith a pastor's heart, Byrd expounds the biblical and theological basis for each article through an overview, an exploration of its Scriptural foundations, a line-by-line explanation, a look at misconceptions about the article and, finally, its practical application. This is deep, grounding theology for Christians of any age or life circumstance.\r\\n\r\\nThere are twenty articles in the \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eAbstract\u003c\/span\u003e: The Scriptures, God, The Trinity, Providence, Election, The Fall of Man, The Mediator, Regeneration, Repentance, Faith, Justification, Sanctification, Perseverance of the Saints, The Church, Baptism, The Lord's Supper, The Lord's Day, Liberty of Conscience, The Resurrection and The Judgment.\r\\n\r\\nIt is hoped that \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eRoots of Our Faith \u003c\/span\u003ewill encourage Christians to grow in their love and understanding of God and be challenged to live out their faith with holiness and joy. May it also serve as a stimulus to those who have not yet embraced Christ as Saviour and Lord.\r\\n\r\\n\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSuitable for private reading or as the basis for a group or church study.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Mound Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55011155116412,"sku":"9781774840429","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0297\/3866\/3995\/files\/ROOTS.jpg?v=1741634119","url":"https:\/\/www.evangelicalbooks.com\/products\/roots-of-our-faith-the-abstract-of-principles-explained-and-applied","provider":"Evangelical Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
