“This popular handbook provides a basic introduction to the Bible, church history and Christian doctrine. In one convenient volume it provides a range of information which would otherwise only be found either in much larger or more expensive publications, or in a larger number of small ones. Written in a plain and straightforward style, it will prove invaluable not only for the new Christian but for all who want to broaden their knowledge of the Christian faith.” [From the blurb]
