Christian Basics: A Primer for Pilgrims Book

If I could, I'd have given the book 3 1/2 stars. The book delivers as advertised. I read the book as a supplementary text for a theology course. The doctrine was a little orthodox for me but was presented in a way that cam a cross as explanatory and not dogmatic. The background it gave was helpful as well as the authors' effort to present material in fresh and alternate ways. Some of the attempts to show concepts graphically didn't resonate with me, some did. In all cases there was also text so that was Ok. Especially useful were the questions to consider at the end of each chapter. These reinforced the concepts introduced in the chapter and provided some good ideas for the weekly reflection papers that were part of the course. I probably wouldn't have read this book if it wasn't a text but I learned a lot and was challenged to think and ponder so reading it was quite worthwhile.
