In the Pattern of God’s Truth
[ send me this paper ]
A 2 page discussion of the book, “In the Pattern of
God’s Truth,” by Frank Gaeblein. In this book the author is addressing the concern that
too often people do not truly understand the Word of God because they are relying on
others for the reading and the interpretation of God’s Word, which is truth. The book
discusses these realities by also addressing the fact that any subject matter should be
clearly defined by the truth set forth in the Word of God, and should not be merely
assumed to be truth unless supported by the word of God. No additional sources cited.
