This accessible introduction to the Christian faith offers a hands-on look at the whole story of the Bible in an effort to help the person in the pew grapple with what it means to be a Christian in a world of conflicting ideologies and competing claims. This We Believe presents eight beliefs that form the basis of the Christian faith in the Reformed and Presbyterian traditions. This thought-provoking book is sure to inspire conversations and prayers concerning the story of the Bible, our theological heritage as Reformed Christians, and the changing culture in which we live.

Excellent for Group Discussion,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: This We Believe: Eight Truths Presbyterians Affirm (Paperback)
We are using this book in our Presbyterian adult education class. It has provoked much interesting discussion. As we have just recently started attending the Presbyterian Church it is giving us some very good insights into the theology of the church. I would highly recommend it for individual reading and especially for group discussion. The author discusses the church today and puts into words much of what we have observed in our culture.

This We Believe,
This review is from: This We Believe: Eight Truths Presbyterians Affirm (Paperback)
The infoamtion was largely what is read in hundreds of other texts. Notthing really earth shaking and, in some cases usnsupported by the Bible.
