Foundational Faith: Unchangeable Truth for an Ever-changing World

by John Koessler

Are Christian truths timeless or not? 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.

Reviews

[Patrick · Rating 4 out of 5]

While ably championing the "fundamentals," by focusing on the struggles of the beginning of the twentieth century, the dangers of the twenty-first are rather ignored and assumed to be covered by what the champions of the faith accomplished one hundred years ago. The fundamentals themselves are under attack by those who affirm them but undermine their Biblical meaning.

Excellent book.
