The Great Doctrines of the Bible

"The Great Doctrines of the Bible" by William Evans is an early 20th-century exploration of core Christian beliefs. This book explains important ideas like the characteristics of God, the roles of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, the idea of salvation, and the importance of the church. It's made for students and everyday readers wanting to gain a stronger understanding of Christian teachings, using the Bible as its main source. At its heart, the book aims to get readers to study these topics while reading the Bible themselves. The book starts by explaining the "Doctrine of God", discussing God's existence, character, and qualities, also tackling doubts such as atheism. Evans stresses that the Bible assumes God exists and points out different logical arguments that back up the idea of a divine being. The writing focuses on making God's character and attributes, like knowing everything, having unlimited power, and being holy, clear, which prepares readers for exploring Jesus Christ's role in later parts of the book.
