<transcy>Summary of Christian Doctrine (Précis de doctrine chrétienne)</transcy>
Précis de doctrine chretienne is an abridged version of the classic work of systematic theology published by the same author. Written from an evangelical and Reformed perspective, this theology manual introduces biblical doctrines by organizing and dividing them systematically. It is ideal for small groups and for anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of Reformed theology. To this end, each chapter ends with Bible passages to memorize and review questions.
