Although the book was developed specifically for the Pentecostal Church of God, its use has spread beyond its initial purpose. It has found a place in local church and college classrooms alike by multiple Pentecostal movements.

Why study doctrine? The broad area related to person, plan, and purposes of God is defined as theology. There have been several very fine publications in the field of systematic and biblical theology. The purpose of Basic Bible Truth is to furnish laymen and beginning Bible scholars a broad coverage of the principle truths of the Word of God organized by subject.

Just as a study of the Bible in chronological order can enhance the understanding of the total message contained in God's Word, so can a study organized by the principle subjects improve our grasp of the whole.

May this book serve as a means whereby the reader may begin a journey of love and comprehension for the anointed Word of God.
