Meer over het boek

This book by Paul Helm helps us understand a foundational part of Christian doctrine--Revelation. The book is unashamedly and delightfully doctrinal in nature. 'Doctrine' is the body of truths that are affirmed by Christians as comprising the fundamental truths of the Faith. We need to be aware of the framework of doctrine because we always hold an assumed set of doctrines as the lens through which we view life and through which we read Scripture. Basic assumptions about God, Church, sin and salvation inform our understanding of the Bible and are hopefully renewed, challenged and revised as we read and re-read the Bible. Paul Helm aims to not only introduce readers to a key doctrine, he alerts us to wise ways to think doctrinally. The doctrinal insights shared have real life impact--they change our thinking, worship and living. The brevity of the work helps us focus on that which is most important, and offers more of a feel for the sweep of doctrine than might be experienced through a more detailed, larger tome
