Since first published in 1981, "Practical Christian Theology" has been a popular resource for both lay readers and academic students of the Bible. In addition to providing a comprehensive view of Christian theology that is based on the conviction that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, this edition encourages a deeper, more intimate relationship with God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Drawing upon more than fifty-five years of Bible study and twenty-five years as a Bible college teacher, Barackman provides an easy-to-follow outline for each chapter that not only organizes the material for systematic study but also makes this work a handy reference tool. The main topics discussed are: The Bible, The Doctrine of God, the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, Angels, Man, Sin, Salvation, The Church, and Future Prophetic Events.
