Dr Walter Martin Re-Publishing 1980 Book: Essential Christianity
Re-release of Essential Christianity available November 2022
WATERLOO, ON – December 12, 2022 – The Bible Answer Man, the late Walter Martin (1928-1989), is re-releasing his 1980 book discussing basic Christian Doctrines like the Trinity, Salvation, The Christian and Spiritual Gifts, The Judgement of God and many more foundational Christian beliefs. Dr. Martin hopes to help his readers have a clear, simple knowledge of the God of the Bible and wisdom from digging “deep” into the truths of Christianity. Dr Martin is re-releasing Essential Christianity (CLC Publications), with the help of his daughter Jill, on November 29, 2022.
“This book takes what often seems more complex and makes it simpler and even enjoyable reading on basic Christian beliefs,” says Jill Martin Rische, daughter and spokesperson of Walter Martin. “Anyone who wishes to understand the Trinity, explore the Deity of Christ or the Virgin Birth can find clear, simple answers for why they believe what they believe.”
Essential Christianity is a readable explanation of the most important Christian teachings, with answers to such vital questions as ‘Is the Bible completely true?’ ‘How can God be three in one?’ ‘Is Christ really God and man?’ and ‘Who will be saved in the end?’…plus dozens more crucially important questions about God, man and the universe. Essential Christianity will give you the answers you need in our confusing world of cults, half-truths, and religious confusion.
“A recent Gallup poll headline stated, ‘Less than Half of Evangelicals Believe Bible in ‘Actual Word of God,” says Martin Rische. “This book answers challenging questions for Christians and for those exploring Christian beliefs. It offers a logical and easily understood defence of the Bible and provides clear biblical references to support the answers provided. Finding joy in believing in the God of the Bible and his Son, Jesus, is at the heart of this—that ‘we know how the book ends…and we win.’ The world is especially dark today, so pointing people to God’s faithfulness and his love for us is something I hope will encourage and strengthen people.”
Christianity Today called Dr Martin “The most productive evangelical scholar writing in the field of the sects today,” and Time magazine characterized him as “a research polemicist who brought peace and not a sword.” He is widely accepted as the father of the Christian Counter-Cult Movement.
