Christian Faith: An Introduction to the Study of the Faith

This is a beautifully written introductory textbook to Reformed Christianity. Berkof provides the reader in this book with a lifetime of careful reflection and has presented a great beginner's book in theology. Berkof comes from the Dutch Reformed Tradition. I used this book in Reformed Theology first and second semesters when I was in seminary because the professors had it as required reading. At the time I was not sufficiently able to appreciate its depth and wealth of knowledge, but today I keep it close to hand when I'm preparing sermons. This is one of those books that if you let it shape you as you read, you won't be disappointed. It is a worthy contribution to the task and calling of understanding our Christian Faith.
