Principles of Belief and Practices of Faith: a Guide to Successful Living Part I Dr. Beresford Adams

"An illuminating guide for Christian living based on a compelling reading of the Bible. In his intricate book, Adams tries to answer a basic but compelling question for Christians: How can Christians act on their faith? Or, put another way: What must Christians do? The author's thesis-that intangible biblical notions like belief and trust can and should be translated into actionable practices-is a simple but valuable message for the religious... The author, educated at Princeton, has a knack for clearly explaining difficult theological principles, and though his prose demands careful attention, such attention delivers real insight. Further, his reading of the Bible-though traditional-is both sensitive and comprehensive. For Adams, Christian scripture is a unified story, and he handles the text like a veteran exegete. A penetrating and pragmatic interpretation of scripture." - Kirkus Discoveries
