The Christian Field Guide
The deep-study reference for pastors, seasoned believers, and serious students of the faith — 102 pages of scripture-anchored doctrine and world religion comparison.
About This Document
The Christian Field Guide is written for believers who are ready to go deeper. Pastors, elders, small group leaders, and seasoned disciples will find here a rigorous, scripture-anchored reference that holds up under serious study — organized by doctrine, indexed by scripture, and built for repeated use.
Where Faith Basics introduces the faith in plain language, this volume goes further — covering the essential doctrines of Christianity in depth, placing them in direct comparison with 20 major world religions, and equipping believers to engage confidently in apologetics conversations. It assumes a working knowledge of the faith and builds from there.
Ideal for personal deep study, church library collections, small group leadership, and anyone who has outgrown introductory material and wants a single authoritative reference for the Christian faith in the context of the broader religious world.
Further down this page you'll find a Further Reading section — blog posts written by the author organized by topic, giving you deeper context on the world religions, doctrines, and apologetics conversations covered in the Field Guide. New posts are added regularly, so it's worth checking back.
