Christian Beliefs DVD Course by Dr. Wayne Grudem
Wayne Grudem is Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix Seminary in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. As well as being an international conference speaker, Dr. Grudem is the author of several books including the widely-used Systematic Theology. He served as General Editor for the ESV Study Bible, and is a past president of the Evangelical Theological Society. He has degrees from Harvard, Westminster Seminary, and the University of Cambridge.
Since writing his Systematic Theology book, he served the church further by distilling the essence of that book into a shorter one called "Christian Beliefs" covering 20 basic doctrines of the faith. Now this material is available in a DVD series as Professor Grudem, in his very engaging style, provides essential teaching for all Christians (at a time when the foundations of the faith are being eroded).
Each session lasts approximately 40 minutes with optional discussion breaks and a questions and answers section. It is suitable for both group or individual use. In the video below you will learn more about this 16 hour (20 session) DVD discipleship series answering these 20 questions:

This DVD series is ready for global impact in that it is available in formats that serve the USA and Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia here.
I highly recommend this DVD series as it is something I will seek to use not only at Kings Church in Phoenix (where I serve as pastor), but in the discipleship of my own children in the things of God. - Rev. John Samson

This is an EXCELLENT resource - I am using it as the text for our Doctrine 101 course at my church (mosaicgc.com). I have developed (and am in the process of developing) a companion presentation: http://bit.ly/christian-beliefs
