Principles of Belief and Practices of Faith

An illuminating guide for Christian living based on a compelling reading of the Bible. In his intricate book Adams tries to answer a basic but compelling question for Christians: How can Christians act on their faith? Or put another way: What must Christians do? The author's thesis-that intangible biblical notions like belief and trust can and should be translated into actionable practices-is a simple but valuable message for the religious...The author educated at Princeton has a knack for clearly explaining difficult theological principles and though his prose demands careful attention such attention delivers real insight. Further his reading of the Bible-though traditional-is both sensitive and comprehensive. For Adams Christian scripture is a unified story and he handles the text like a veteran exegete. A penetrating and pragmatic interpretation of scripture. - Kirkus Discoveries
