Knowing Christianity sets out the foundations of the Christian faith in the plain, unhurried style that made J. I. Packer's Knowing God a modern classic. Packer works through the doctrines of God, the person and work of Christ, and the Holy Spirit, then moves outward to spiritual growth, prayer and worship, fellowship and renewal in the church, Christian citizenship, and the last things, including death, God's judgment, and Christ's ascension and return. This new edition from InterVarsity Press brings Packer's work to a fresh generation of readers with Gavin Ortlund.

Written against the current of self-improvement religion and fashionable spiritual experience, this book is for believers who want doctrine that still holds weight when circumstances shift. It suits Christians moving from initial devotion into settled discipleship, small groups working through the essentials of the faith, and new members classes needing a readable survey of Christian teaching. Readers are turned away from measuring their own progress and toward the unchanging God who is the ground of lasting hope.
