Elemental Theology presents the 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 SalvationThe 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."
