The Bible is a big book, with history, stories and laws handed down from God. But what is the central theme of the Bible? If we miss everything else, what is the one concept, the One Rule that God wants us to know and do above all others? Is this rule simple enough for children as well as adults? How would this One Rule affect today’s Christians? At one time, slavery was a subject of heated debate in churches, with Christians taking both sides of the argument. Today only one side prevails: slavery is against God’s will for humanity. But that was then. What about today? What issue is dividing today’s church? It is homosexuality. How does God’s central theme, His One Rule, apply to homosexuality in the church today?"Key to Biblical Doctrine" reveals the key passage of the Bible that will in turn help anyone to understand all other scripture. Even the newest believer will be able to judge the merits of doctrines presented by long-trained theologians. Babes in Christ will now be able to know when their own church is accidentally going against God and the Bible. Escape the maze of confusing religious doctrine by learning the one simple key by which you may judge everything else.s Jerald L Brown is an evangelical Christian. He holds the Bible to be the inspired, infallible word of God. What is written in the Bible is just as relevant to people today as it was the days when it was first written. As Paul told Timothy, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16, AV, 1873, Cambridge)A problem occurs when Bible translators use their own culture and church doctrine to define words and attitudes written by holy men long ago. Jerald Brown seeks the Bible's author's culture and background to understand that author's words and meanings.
