You will know the truth,' said Jesus, 'and the truth will set you free.' Christians have already begun to know God and his truth. This handbook assists in that liberating knowledge, as it opens up the great themes of God's Word and shows how they fit together. Each chapter deals with one aspect of biblical truth and encourages further study with Scripture references to look up, questions for discussion, and books for additional reading. The main sections conclude with practical reflection on how the Bible's teaching challenges us and moves us to adore the living God. This new edition of Bruce Milne's widely appreciated Know the Truth has been extensively revised and updated to ensure its ongoing relevance and value as an excellent introduction to Christian doctrine.

The Good Book Stall

Originally written in 1982 this title has been a ground breaking reference tool for anyone who wants a comprehensive, scholarly yet concise and easily understood explanation of many of the basic fundamentals of evangelical Christianity. The new 3rd edition has received wholesale revision by the author, and despite his conservative stance, this book is completely contemporary to today’s issues including discussions on twitter, social networks, current gender issues and much more.  
Milne covers a wide diversity of topics set out in 7 main parts and then sub-divided into 3 – 5 sub chapters including: Authority, The Doctrine of God, Humanity &amp; Sin etc. Each chapter contains extensive biblical cross referencing and ends with a further reading section as well as study questions. Despite the depth and range of subject matter covered this is an engaging book that is easy to take in and only uses explained jargon and phraseology. This is an ideal tool for the theology student, group leader or serious interested disciple who wants to have a solid basis for understanding the fundamentals of their faith. At the selling price of £12.99 this book should be a must have that would grace anyone’s shelves and be frequently referred to.
