Taking the middle section of the Apostles' Creed as the frame work, David explains the fundamental fact about Jesus on which the Christian faith is based in a fresh and stimulating way. Both old and new Christians will benefit from this 'back to basics' call and find themselves falling in love with their Lord all over again

This is an intensely readable look at the Christian Church down the ages, providing powerful messages for our own times. Many church members know little or nothing about the story of Christianity between the New Testament period and today. They therefore may not realise how much they have been in uenced by traditions developed during that time. These can have both a negative and positive bene t. Negative, because 'those who forget history are condemned to relive it'. Most of the mistakes we make and errors we fall into have happened before and we can learn from our forefathers to avoid them....

It must bewilder many Christians that teachers and preachers using the same Bible can come up with so many different interpretations and, more particularly, applications of God's Word.

It is an extraordinary story. An unknown young man of thirty abandons his job and launches into a new 'career' as a travelling preacher and healer. Immensely popular wit the general public, he quickly falls foul of the religious leaders of his day and then the political authorities. Just three years later he was dead, executed as a dangerous criminal. End of Story? Just the opposite Three days later, his body had disappeared from his grave. That was only the beginning of the story of which you, the reader are now part.

Has God brought the Jewish people back to Palestine? How can both Jews and Christians be God's chosen people? How many covenants are there in the Bible? Do all Christian Zionists accept dispensational teaching? Does the God of Israel ever change his promises?
