Arranging basic theological beliefs in a narrative form that moves from creation to the resurrection, \u003ci\u003eChristian Basics\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the Christian story as Scripture tells it, grounding each \"chapter\" of the story firmly in the purpose of the triune God.

As a project written jointly by husband and wife, this book draws on the experience of both men and women in the interpretation of Christian faith, an important perspective in a day when inclusivity of viewpoint is crucial. The Fackres' shared pastoral and teaching background roots their writing deeply in the life and mission of the church, and their discussion is permeated by a joyful gratitude that readers will find inspiring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
