Countless academic studies, Christian leaders, and personal experience show a startling and disturbing fact about the church: most Christians do not understand their faith.
Square 1: Bible Study for Christian Foundation teaches what Christians believe, why they believe it, and how to follow Jesus. The book brings foundational biblical doctrine to life through plain language, thought-provoking images, and challenging application questions for group discussion.
The purpose of the book is to provide a biblical foundation for the Christian faith, worldview, and lifestyle. So, what makes it different?
- Everything starts with God's nature, character, and attributes
- Its pages are visually stimulating with color imagery
- The book does not begin assuming the reader has high biblical literacy or holds Christian worldview and is therefore, laced with Christian apologetics
- Square 1 treats 21st century topics like identity, human rights, and sexuality as foundational for believers to understand their faith
- The book tackles end-times and the new creation with unbelievable clarity
Square 1 is a masterful blend of theological, philosophical, pastoral, apologetical, and biblical material. At the end of this study, the reader should be able to walk out the Christian life in the power of the Holy Spirit, in expectation of Christ's return, to the praise and glory of the Father. They will also be capable of understanding, explaining, and defending the central claims of Christianity, which is the good news of Jesus Christ.
Square 1 is systematic theology for the church layperson.
