Primer is a unique resource to help gospel workers put theology into practice.
Each issue takes one theological topic and chews it over: learning from the past, reflecting on the present and rubbing it into the realities of church life.
When people hear the word “justification” they don’t always think of a joyful standing place. Instead, it’s often a doctrine tarnished by endless theological debate and historical division.
Primer Issue 04 deals with that head on.
