Studying and understanding principal bible truths underlying the Christian faith will provide a sure foundation for the believer's walk in this life and with a view to eternity. Without question, every portion of the bible is divinely-inspired truth and contains important revelations of God’s mind and His divine purposes. However, from among the huge variety of edifying Scripture themes, there are some essential topics which are timeless bible study foundations — that is, truths that should be central to the experience of every Christian.

Pastor Jim Feeney draws upon 44 years of Christian ministry experience to offer a focused collection of bible studies that will help provide the reader this “sure foundation” of Scriptural bedrock in his or her life. A case could certainly be made for the addition of more themes. But the bible truths offered below will certainly give the sincere seeker a great running start at building a walk with God that is strong and secure.
