Knowing Christianity

The Foundations of the Christian Faith and How They Shape Daily Life

About this book

Explore Enduring Truths with a New Edition of J. I. Packer's Timeless Work

In a culture that grasps at the latest self-improvement plan or trendy spiritual experiences, J. I. Packer, author of Knowing God, turns our attention to realities far better than anything our self-absorbed society can offer.

In Knowing Christianity, Packer lays out his grand panorama of the magnificent landscape we call the Christian faith. This book centers on the bedrock truths of Christianity, aiming to help ordinary believers deepen their devotion into discipleship.

Knowing Christianity covers key elements of spiritual life, Christian living, and our ultimate end, laying out the doctrines of

  • God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit;
  • spiritual growth;
  • prayer and worship;
  • fellowship and renewal in the church;
  • citizenship as a Christian; and
  • the afterlife, God's judgment, and Christ's ascension.


As the currents of culture shift, Packer's wise insights help believers lay a solid foundation on which to build the Christian life. Though spiritual fads fade from the scene as quickly as they arise, Knowing Christianity explores the lasting, unchanging truth of the God who has been our help in ages past and will be our hope for years to come.
