What the Bible Teaches

What the Bible Teaches by F.G. Smith is a comprehensive doctrinal guide that systematically presents the foundational principles of Christian theology as derived from Scripture. Originally published in 1914 by the Gospel Trumpet Company, this work has been reprinted multiple times, including editions by Warner Press and Reformation Publishers. 

Smith, a prominent second-generation Church of God (Anderson, Indiana) pastor and evangelist, authored this book to provide a clear and accessible resource for both lay readers and church leaders. The book addresses a broad spectrum of theological topics, including:

• The authority and inspiration of Scripture

• The nature and attributes of God

• Humanity's creation, fall, and need for redemption

• The person and work of Jesus Christ

• The role of the Holy Spirit

• The nature and mission of the Church

• Prophecy and the fulfillment of God's promises

• Eschatological themes such as the second coming and final judgment

Designed to be both thorough and understandable, the book avoids overly technical language, making it suitable for personal study, Sunday school instruction, and pastoral reference. Its structured approach allows readers to grasp the interconnectedness of biblical doctrines and their relevance to contemporary Christian life.
