About Phillip Senn
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I seek to help Christians in doctrinal matters. Many Christians think that doctrine doesn`t matter, yet the Scriptures indicate otherwise. It is my desire to share from the Word of God with those who have legitimate questions. As such, I cannot claim expertise, except that I will seek to answer from the Authority (the Bible). If I cannot find a Biblical answer, I may offer an opinion based upon my understanding of Scripture, or I will simply reply with an, "I Don`t Know".

Experience

Past/Present clients
Currently involved in online ministry (chat rooms & blogs) where doctrinal issues are discussed frequently by various individuals.
