Tony Lane is Professor of historical theology at the London School of Theology. His previous publications include A Reader's Guide to Calvin's Institutes (Baker 2009), A Concise History of Christian Thought (Continuum/Baker 2006), The Lion Christian Classics Collection (Lion/Hendrickson 2004) and Justification by Faith in Catholic-Protestant Dialogue (T&amp;T Clark 2002). Most of his scholarly writings have been on Calvin, including his John Calvin: Student of the Church Fathers (T&amp;T Clark 1999).

This reliable and highly readable textbook provides comprehensive coverage of core Christian beliefs from an evangelical perspective. Developed from the author's popular introductory course on Christian doctrine, the book rests firmly on biblical foundations while also providing a balanced discussion of areas where evangelicals disagree.
