San Francisco, California May 21, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - A new release by James Broffitt, PhD, Basic Elements of Christianity: Salvation, The Bible, & God, provides readers with a straightforward and engaging introduction to the foundational teachings of Christianity. Designed to be easy to read and accessible to a wide audience, the book explores essential topics such as salvation, the nature of God, the reliability of the Bible, and key theological concepts including the resurrection and the Trinity.
At the heart of the book is a central message: salvation is a free gift from God, received through faith in Jesus Christ, not earned through human effort. Drawing from biblical passages such as Ephesians 2:8–10, Broffitt explains that good works are a result of salvation not a means to achieve it. The book also addresses complex and often misunderstood topics, including the “unforgivable sin,” apparent biblical contradictions, and the question of why God allows evil.
In addition, Broffitt presents evidence supporting the authenticity of the Bible and arguments for the existence of God, with particular emphasis on the implications of the Big Bang. Throughout the book, scriptural references are used extensively to support key points, making it both informative and rooted in biblical teaching.
James “Jim” Broffitt, PhD, brings a lifetime of academic and spiritual experience to his writing. A former professor of Statistics & Actuarial Science at the University of Iowa for 40 years, he also served as department chair for 11 years before retiring in 2010. Beyond academia, Broffitt has spent over four decades in dedicated Bible study and serves as an elder at River Community Church in Iowa City, Iowa. He is also a member of The Gideons International, serves on the advisory board for a local LifeWise Academy ministry, and volunteers with The Salvation Army.
The inspiration for the book emerged during the COVID 19 pandemic, when many individuals stepped away from regular church attendance. In response, Broffitt began writing and sharing short essays on Christian teachings with friends and family. These writings eventually evolved into a cohesive book, revised and expanded to reach a broader audience. He hopes the work will both encourage believers in their faith and invite others to explore a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Basic Elements of Christianity: Salvation, The Bible, & God delivers a compelling message about faith, eternity, and personal choice. Broffitt emphasizes that while God desires all people to be saved, individuals ultimately choose their spiritual path. The book serves as both a call to reflection and an invitation to embrace the message of Christianity.
For readers seeking a clear, thoughtful exploration of Christian beliefs, Broffitt’s work offers both guidance and inspiration.
