Overview

At various times, some within the Protestant community have compromised core Christian principles to "fit the times". Challenging these truths, many members of the evangelical community have stood up for the key doctrines that, in their view, remain essential to the Christian faith. In Foundational Faith, John Koessler, a professor at Moody Bible Institute, joins several of his colleagues in introducing fundamental truths of the Christian faith to a generation increasingly unfamiliar with the original and true essence of Christianity.

Praise for Foundational Faith

Foundational Faith: Unchangeable Truth for an Ever-Changing World provides magnificent expression to the essential pillars of biblical faith.  And because the authors are so carefully biblical, the effect is properly radical.  Here is a book that will gird the mind and the heart to stand tall in the challenging days ahead.

Here is a primer on Christian doctrine that is true to the historic biblical faith and relevant for the church today.  An important resource for Christians who are serious about the evangelical faith.
