In the preparation of these questions we have purposely followed the statements of belief printed in the Manual of the Church of the Nazarene. The purpose of this book is to provide in simple form a study of the essentials of Christian doctrine with proof texts from the Scriptures. It is printed as a regular book publication of the Nazarene Publishing House which requested the Department of Church Schools to sponsor the project, select the writer and officially to authorize the material.

The booklet is suitable for use by study groups of young people or adults in local churches, for group discussion in young people's institutes, and as catechetical studies to be used by pastors preparing candidates for church membership.
