The Christian Faith Book Review

The book arrived timely and in brand new condition. It is a very good book for anyone who has the desire to understand true Christianity and some of the false ideas that the Church has come against.

Quite a Pearl

In the last ten years as a Lutheran pastor I have handed out as many as fifty copies of this pearl by Robert Kolb. Written in intelligent yet accessible English, the book has served well to describe Lutheran Christian teaching to people at the undergraduate college level and above. Vivid prose, clarity, and lucidity are high points. Kolb exhibits a rare knack for explaining complex topics in simple (not simplistic!) terms. He also succeeds in applying enduring (read, "ancient") theological themes in an emerging post-modern context.
