Salvation is a vital encounter win which an individual surrenders his old sinful life and receives Christ's gift of eternal life. This personal religious experience has served as a keynote for such great Baptist theologians as A.H. Strong and E.Y. Mullins. W.T. Conner, pupil of both Strong and Mullins, lived and wrote in their great tradition. Loyal to the Bible and historic evangelism, his theology is based on timeless Christian truths. At the same time, its warm-hyearted and practical emphasis is specifially directed to the spitiual needs of people today.
This book is a popular, nontechnical presentation of the entire field of theology.
