Michael Hortonââ?¬â?¢sÃ? purposeÃ? in writingÃ? Core ChristianityÃ? is ââ?¬Å"to help you understand your reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can invite others into the conversation.ââ?¬Â? Throughout this book he teaches you about the Bible Story without it feeling like youââ?¬â?¢re being taught about dreadedÃ? doctrine. Horton writes forÃ? allÃ? believers, and quotes Socrates who said, ââ?¬Å"The unexamined life is not worth living.ââ?¬Â? Horton points it to Christians, ââ?¬Å"But itââ?¬â?¢s also true that the unexamined faith is not worth believingââ?¬Â? (16).
Core Christianity is situated between the beginner and intermediate level. It�s a good book for a new Christian to read through carefully, and it�s still a good book for long-time believers.
* DramaÃ? teaches us the story of the Bible.
* DoctrineÃ? teaches us that Jesus was ââ?¬Å"delivered over to deathÃ? for our sinsÃ? and raised to lifeÃ? for our justification.ââ?¬Â?
* DoxologyÃ? means ââ?¬Å"praise.ââ?¬Â? Christians are found ââ?¬Å"in Christ,ââ?¬Â? and his story becomes our story.
* DiscipleshipÃ? comes when Christians live out their role in loving God and neighbor.
Horton gives the church an easily-digestible systematic theology (whatÃ? the whole Bible tells us about itsÃ? main doctrines). No biblical doctrine stands alone. Each doctrine and teaching is part of a team that plays together.
Conclusion
The essentials are the core of what we believe, and the core holds everything else together. If we miss the essentials, we�ll grow selfish and neglect others, perhaps viewing God as our magic genie who agrees to give us everything we could ever want. God�s story is focused on Christ, and the more we see God rightly, the more we will be in awe of our majestic king.
