I've been a Christian for 28 years and have read the entire Bible in at least five different translations (KJV, NKJV, NIV, NASB, ESV), but it never hurts to revisit the basics. In Basic Christianity, famous English theologian John Stott does just that. In four parts, he lays out:
- Who Christ Is (the claims, character, and resurrection of Christ)
- What We Need (the fact, nature, and consequences of sin)
- What Christ Has Done (the death and salvation of Christ)
- How To Respond (counting the cost, reaching a decision, being a Christian)
Stott makes a number of great points here. There are a lot of misconceptions about Christianity today (some of it brought on by certain Churches, admittedly), and I recommend Basic Christianity to Christians and non who want to understand what it's really about. Check it out- you may be surprised.
