he basics of systematic theology in brief, easy-to-follow outline form that will be appreciated by students, teachers, pastors, and laypersons wanting a practical-level introduction to the subject. Bancroft's thorough survey of doctrine includes numerous quotations from well-known biblical commentators and study questions at the end of each chapter for personal or class review. Specific doctrines discussed are:

• The Doctrine of the Scriptures
• The Doctrine of Sin
• The Doctrine of God
• The Doctrine of Salvation
li>The Doctrine of Jesus
• The Doctrine of the Church
• The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit
• The Doctrine of Angels
• The Doctrine of Man
• The Doctrine of Last Things

". . . it is refreshing to find a volume that sets forth lucidly a biblical theology. Here, the appeal for authority is not to historians, theologians, or the church fathers, but to the Word of God."
