Top Highlights
“Everyone has a basis of authority which becomes a base of operations for his thinking and doing.” (source)
“The first is an argument from cause and effect and simply reminds people that everywhere they look in the world around them they are faced with an effect.” (source)
“The evangelical Christian’s basis of authority is to be found within the framework of the revelation of God.” (source)
“My own definition of biblical inspiration is that it is God’s superintendence of the human authors so that, using their own individual personalities, they composed and recorded without error His revelation to man in the words of the original autographs.” (source)
“The third argument concerns the nature of man. Man’s conscience, moral nature, intelligence, and mental capacities have to be accounted for in some way.” (source)

Every Evangelical Christian needs to read this book. It is a great survey of the beliefs that make us who we are. Dr. Ryrie is very clear and easy to understand. This short book is a great introduction. Basic Theology is the next step but this resource is a great overview!Andy Anderson

This is a foundational book to read, covering an excellent range of teaching. He has written a doctrinal book that is not too wordy, yet provides ample content to present good solid teaching regarding doctrine. If you are a Ryrie enthusiast, I would recommend the Ryrie Study Bible, Balancing the Christian Life, and Survey of Bible Doctrine. Then go deeper with Basic Theology.
