From back cover: Approximately forty million adult Americans attend church every week. Many of them are not quite sure what Christianity really is. A multitude of others are limited in their faith by their understanding of the tenets of the denominations to which they give allegiance. Christianity - The Practice and the Profession is one man's statement of what the religion of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is all about. In forty condensed chapters it examines the basics of Christian doctrine, expreience and practice, distinguishing between practicing Christians (always in short supply) and professing Christians (usually quite numerous). The author is a nonprofessional stude of Bible and church history, and an outspoken observer of current religious and social phenomena. He starts with the assumption that the Bible is the Word of God and, even to doubters, the obvious foundation document on which the Christian structure has been built. More than 450 scripture references or quotations support the findings of the book. Unhampered by tradition, the author crosses denominational lines freely, and finds practicing Christians in every church which claims Christ as Savior. ; 180 pages
