Today you hear it even from many well-meaning Christians: "It doesn"t really matter what you believe, so long as you"re sincere." These pages demonstrate that such a "doctrineless Christianity" is not merely impossible; it"s dangerous. Indeed, argues author Dorothy L. Sayers, if Christians don"t steep themselves in doctrine, then the Christian Faith - and the world outside the Faith - will descend into chaos. It"s a surprising argument these days, but once you"ve finished these lucid and often witty pages, you"ll agree with Sayers that dogma is no exercise in hair-splitting about insignificant matters; it"s a vibrant window into the splendor of God"s truth, a window that each Christian soul needs. Doctrine is vital to your faith, to my faith, and even to the faith of the simplest believers. Each of us must make a stark choice: creed . . . or chaos! These pages show why there"s no way you can avoid that choice - and they help you to choose wisely.
