Broad in outlook, ecumenical in perspective, and honest in its approach, the book presents a fresh angle of vision on some old and important truths.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Christians looking for a refresher course in the essentials of their faith and general inquirers seeking to understand the historic beliefs of Christianity will find both information and inspiration in this book. 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. Supporting this narrative are discussion questions, a variety of charts, and a glossary to aid readers in understanding theological concepts and terms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Using simple language with a creative flair, the authors also confront contemporary issues ranging from science and secularism to the rise of fundamentalism and the \"new age\" movements, offering guidelines for living a spiritually rich life. 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.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors of this book believe that Christian faith makes a lot more sense of life than the fads and frenzies of the hour.
