the Foundation: ELEMENTARY DOCTRINES & Discipleship, Governing Order of God’s House

The writer of Hebrews names six elementary doctrines - repentance, faith, baptisms, the laying on of hands, resurrection, and eternal judgment - and then says: lay this foundation and move on to maturity. But you cannot move on from what was never properly laid.The Elementary Doctrines returns to those six foundations not as a survey for beginners, but as a serious engagement for anyone who senses that the Christian life is supposed to be more than it has been. Each doctrine is treated not as a category to understand, but as a threshold to cross - a reality that, once truly entered, changes the person who enters it.Alongside the doctrine, this volume addresses discipleship itself: what the governing order of God's house looks like, how it forms people, and why genuine Christian community is the only context in which these realities take root and grow.
