Evangelical Convictions; a Theological Exposition of the EFCA Statement of Faith

In 2008 the Evangelical Free Church of America voted on a revised Statement of Faith at their national convention. This was the first revision in over 50 years. The EFCA is probably the only denomination to go through a change like this with very little difficulty. That is because the first SOF was so well done and the revision only strengthened it. 

This book by Greg Strand and Bill Kynes is a terrific commentary on the SOF. They take each of the statements and give an extended exposition on the statement with plenty of Biblical references and historical background. They also take into consideration other dissenting views or heretical beliefs that are in contradiction to our SOF. 

This book is a must read for anyone who is a member of an Evangelical Free Church. You will learn more about our SOF and find any answers you might have with any of our doctrine. 

Finally if you are seeking credentialing with the EFCA you will find this book a great tool for helping you know what our doctrines and distinctives are. 

By the way the book is written in a very readable format for Pastors and Laymen alike. 

Enjoy!
