Description    

Theology textbooks tend to be a strong mix of philosophy and Bible, but this is just Bible! Instead of starting with a topic and ideas, then searching to find Biblical reasoning to support the idea, this book starts with the Bible and presents propositions from the Scriptures. The results were then organized by “book” and “chapter,” and then by propositions.

What the Bible Teaches is a refreshing, clear presentation of the Biblical teaching of doctrine.
