Fundamental Doctrines of the Bible

By David Allen Reed

Fundamental Doctrines of the Bible is in 4 parts, God, Man, Sin and Redemption.



Contents of Fundamental Doctrines of the Bible

PART I–Concerning God.
PART II–Concerning Man.
PART III–Concerning Sin.
PART IV–Concerning Redemption.



Our promises:

1. Our goal is to bring you high quality Christian publications at reasonable and affordable prices. Therefore all of our works are complete and unabridged unless specifically stated otherwise, which means that unlike some other independent publications you get what you see and pay for. No unplesant surprises.



2. We endeavour to bring you updated editions of classic works. Therefore this work is not a scan, but is a completely digitized version of the original.

3. Unlike, many other independently published works, our publications are easy to read. Therefore you won’t find illegible, faded, poor quality photocopies here. Neither will you find poorly done OCR versions of those faded scans either, with illegible “words” that contain all kinds of strange characters like £, %, &, etc. Our publications have all been looked over and corrected by the human eye.

4. We can’t promise perfection, but we’re sure gonna try!

As an instructor of laymen in an interdenominational school for the past seven years, I have striven to teach the fundamental doctrines of the Bible received by all evangelical denominations.



Since this outline seemed to meet the need of my students, I have been asked to have it published that it might be used by the various Workers’ Training Classes, and Bible students generally, who desire a more thorough knowledge of these fundamental doctrines, but who cannot take the time necessary to read the larger works on theology.

No pretensions are made to originality in the subject matter, but a free use has been made of works studied during the preparation of the outline, and I acknowledge especially the helpfulness of “Christian Theology for the People,” by Willis Lord, D. D.; “Introduction to Christian Theology,” by Prof. Henry B. Smith, D. D.; “Handbook of Christian Theology,” by Rev. Benjamin Field; and “Outlines of Theology,” by Archibald Alexander Hodge, D. D., from which works the part on Redemption was largely taken.

I wish also to acknowledge the very valuable assistance of Rev. E. H. Knight in editing the book.

If some earnest student of the Word, some humble disciple of our Lord, is strengthened spiritually, is better fitted for his life work in saving and edifying souls, I shall be more than repaid for my labor.

Excerpt #3

E. THE WORK OF REDEMPTION AS RELATED TO THE BELIEVER.
I. The Union between Christ and the Believer.
1. As to its nature.
a. Christ as the second Adam (1 Cor. 15:22) assumes in the covenant of grace those broken obligations of the covenant of works which the first Adam failed to discharge, and fulfils them all in behalf of all His “sheep”–those whom the Father has given Him.
b. Its spiritual and vital character.
(1) It is a spiritual union. 1 Cor. 6:17; 12:13. 1 John 3:24; 4:13.
(2) It is a vital union. John 14:19. Gal. 2:20.
(3) It embraces our entire persons. 1 Cor. 6:15, 19.
(4) It is an indissoluble union. John 10:28; 14:23; 17:21, 23. 1 The. 4:14, 17.

2. As to its consequences (in general)–
a. Believers have a community with Christ in his covenant standing and rights. Rom. 8:1. Eph. 1:6, 11, 13. Phi. 3:8, 9. Col. 2:10.
His mediatorial office embraces three principal functions:–(1) Prophet. In fellowship with Him the
believer is a prophet. John 16:13. 1 John 2:27. (2) Priest. The believer is also a priest in Him. Isa. 61:6. 1 Pet. 2:5. Rev. 20:6. (3) King. In Him the believer is also a king. 1 Pet. 2:9. Rev. 3:21; 5:10.

Note that I am reworking the entire website. Sorry for the inconvenience. As I find modules that are not in the zips, I will add them to the download page instead of adding them to the zip. So please check back from time to time even though you have already downloaded a particular zip pack because there may be some additions at the bottom of the page. --D.C.

Oldies but Goodies
I am going to go back into my archives and renew some old posts (single modules) that will expire after a few days. Putting all 2000 that were live (4000 actually counting the ones waiting to be posted also) that are in the archives as live seems to bring the site down. So I will see how this works. Take note that these posts will be live for 7 days and then will be deleted, so if you visit this site regularly, you will see them, but get them while they are up. (And remember to visit the site various times during each week.)

I am working for you, so please donate something (any amount) for my labors: Paypal paypal.com/paypalme/davidcoxmex/
