Contending For The Faith: Becoming Rooted, Grounded & Unshakable In The Lord Jesus Christ Sheldon D Newton

"I recommend this book as a resource every pastor should share with their congregation...." Dr. Jay Simms
Used as a "must read" book at Berea University for the "Doctrines of the Bible Course," this theological study covers the main foundational teachings of the New Covenant which every believer and minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ should know. Subjects such as: repentance; faith; baptisms (various kinds); laying on of hands; resurrection of the dead & eternal judgment are focused upon in great detail. Built upon the Pauline Epistles, these principles are what Paul preached in every church he founded in the Lord Jesus Christ. They help to ensure that the ardent believer is rooted and grounded in the fundamentals of the Christian Faith, as well as enables them to stand against error. Jude encouraged believers to earnestly contend for these truths in the midst of the unfolding apostasy. More than ever before, ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ need to ensure that they teach these foundational principles so that believers are not enticed and swayed away from the truth of God's Word - the Gospel of true grace. In an age when many are struggling with various beliefs and life-styles, it is vital that the sincere Christian is firmly rooted in these basic principles. This is a theological study written in an easy and understandable manner so that any minister or believer can comprehend and gain clearer insight into the foundational teachings of the Doctrine of Christ as taught in the Epistles written to the New Testament Churches!.
