Introduction to Essential 40

ESSENTIAL 40 is a survey of 40 essentials of Christianity.  They are a summary of the essential subjects and doctrines taught in most Bible colleges and seminaries.  At the end of each ESSENTIAL 40 subject, there are practical questions that can be used for discussion and resources that you can purchase if you desire to do further study (the books listed are not available on this website).

How can these studies be used?  They can be used to teach a class on Christian essentials, for personal study, as reference material, and for Sunday school classes on one or more of the subjects.  It is my hope that you will find these resources a spiritual gold mine of biblical truths, just as I find them to be.
