God and Other Supernatural Entities

All four gospel books in the Bible were focused on establishing Jesus' identity? That should make us realize how important it is to understand the orthodox beliefs about Christ. When faced with a crisis of faith, Habakkuk thought about the revealed character and work of God and decided he could trust in him; thus we can see the value of understanding what God has revealed about himself. Here are some documents that will help you think through the biblical teachings about God, Jesus, and other supernatural beings.
