This book by Paul Helm helps us understand a foundational part of Christian doctrineƒ‚‚"ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚"Revelation. The book is unashamedly and delightfully doctrinal in nature. 'Doctrine' is the body of truths that are affirmed by Christians as comprising the fundamental truths of the Faith.

We need to be aware of the framework of doctrine because we always hold an assumed set of doctrines as the lens through which we view life and through which we read Scripture. Basic assumptions about God, Church, sin and salvation inform our understanding of the Bible and are hopefully renewed, challenged and revised as we read and re-read the Bible.
