The KNOW series is designed for personal study or classroom use, but also for small groups and Sunday schools wanting to better understand, explain, and defend traditional Christian belief. Each chapter covers a foundational teaching and includes a rationale for that teaching, responses to common objections, reflection questions to prompt further consideration, and suggested readings for readers wanting to dig deeper.

Know the Theologians

 

Know the Theologians (KNOW Series) by Jennifer Powell McNutt and David W. McNutt

The Bible describes the church as a kind of family. Those who believe in Christ are sisters and brothers in the faith, whether they live at the same time or are separated by centuries. For that reason, believers today need to know our family members who have come before and shaped our beliefs and practices now. In Know the Theologians, professors and authors Jennifer Powell McNutt and David W. McNutt introduce the most significant thinkers in the church's history.

Know How We Got Our Bible

Know How We Got Our Bible (KNOW Series) by Ryan M. Reeves & Charles Hill

The easy accessibility of the Bible in most of the world's major languages can obscure a dramatic and sometimes unexpected story. In Know How We Got Our Bible, scholars Ryan Reeves and Charles Hill trace the history of the Bible from its beginnings to the present day, highlighting key figures and demonstrating overall the reliability of Scripture.

Reeves and Hill begin with the writing of the Bible's books (including authorship and dating), move into the formation of the Old and New Testaments (including early transmission and the development of the canon), and conclude with several chapters on Bible translation from the Latin Vulgate to the ongoing work of translation around the world today.

 

Know Why You Believe

Know Why You Believe (KNOW Series) by K. Scott Oliphint, Justin S. Holcomb

The Christian life depends upon faith, and there are good reasons for that faith. In Know Why You Believe, professor and author K. Scott Oliphint answers the "why" questions both Christians and non-Christians often ask, laying out a simple and convincing case for the core teachings of Christianity:

                  • Why Believe in the Bible?
                  • Why Believe in Jesus?
                  • Why Believe in Miracles?
                  • Why Believe in Salvation?
                  • Why Believe in God Despite the Evil in the World?

Know the Heretics

 

Know the Heretics (KNOW Series Book 2) by Justin S. Holcomb

There is a lot of talk about heresy these days. The frequency and volume of accusations suggest that some Christians have lost a sense of the gravity of the word. On the other hand, many believers have little to no familiarity with orthodox doctrine or the historic distortions of it. What's needed is a strong dose of humility and restraint, and also a clear and informed definition of orthodoxy and heresy. Know the Heretics provides an accessible 'travel guide' to the most significant heresies throughout Christian history.

Know the Creeds and Councils

 

Know the Creeds and Councils (KNOW Series Book 1) by Justin S. Holcomb

In every generation, the Christian church must interpret and restate its bedrock beliefs, answering the challenges and concerns of the day. This accessible overview walks readers through centuries of creeds, councils, catechisms, and confessions--not with a dry focus on dates and places, but with an emphasis on the living tradition of Christian belief and why it matters for our lives today.
