Principles of Belief and Practices of Faith: A Guide to Successful Living Part I

“An illuminating guide for Christian living based on a compelling reading of the Bible. In his intricate book, Adams tries to answer a basic but compelling question for Christians: How can Christians act on their faith? Or, put another way: What must Christians do? The author’s thesis—that intangible biblical notions like belief and trust can and should be translated into actionable practices—is a simple but valuable message for the religious…The author, educated at Princeton, has a knack for clearly explaining difficult theological principles, and though his prose demands careful attention, such attention delivers real insight. Further, his reading of the Bible—though traditional—is both sensitive and comprehensive. For Adams, Christian scripture is a unified story, and he handles the text like a veteran exegete. A penetrating and pragmatic interpretation of scripture.” – Kirkus Discoveries
