scriptural and topical indexes

Denominational Doctrines deals with the most common misconceptions in the religious world today. Developed after eight years of daily, live call-in radio programs, it reveals Samuel G. Dawson's keen insight into many of the denominational doctrines and beliefs of those we try to teach. As a result of those call-in radio experiences, he put the information into book form to share more widely with others. While written in an accurate and forthright manner, Denominational Doctrines approaches those who are mistaken with kindness and love.

  • Explained: Accurate quotations from official denominational sources show exactly what believers of the different philosophies believe. No one you are trying to teach can make a charge of misrepresentation.
  • Examined: The denominational doctrines are compared with scripture to see if they are really true. Thus, the book teaches how to answer denominational arguments.
  • Exposed: Not only are the denominational doctrines exposed as coming from man rather than from God, but the book makes a strong plea to the reader to become just a New Testament Christian.

Ideal for: individual study, preaching, elders,
adult classes, personal evangelism, new converts, gifts
