Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Ingredients of the Christian Faith
Keith Hardman · 1980
52/100
👎 Skip It
A serviceable lay-level Protestant theology primer from 1980 — credentialed author, Tyndale House production, helpful glossary — but it has been comprehensively superseded by decades of better introductory theology texts. Unless a reader specifically needs this 1980 snapshot or is working with an older library collection, there are stronger current options in the same category.
