About the Book
What Christians Ought to Believe is an introduction to Christian doctrine that uses the Apostles' Creed as the outline and entryway to show what Christians should believe about God, Jesus, the church, and the life to come.Book Synopsis
Summarizes the basic tenets of the Christian faith using the Apostles' Creed as its entryway.
The Apostles' Creed is a treasure trove of basic Christian beliefs and wisdom that helps ensure the integrity and orthodoxy of our faith. Sadly, modern churches have often hesitated to embrace the ancient creeds because of our "nothing but the Bible" tradition. What Christians Ought to Believe will open your eyes to the possibilities of the Apostles' Creed as a way to explore and understand the essential teachings of the Christian faith.
Michael Bird deftly weaves together theological commentary, tips for application, and memorable illustrations. Each chapter, following the Creed's outline, introduces the Father, the Son, and the Spirit and the Church. An appendix includes the Apostles' Creed in the original Latin and Greek.
What Christians Ought to Believe is ideally suited for both the classroom and the church setting to teach beginning students and laypersons the basics of what Christians ought to affirm if they are to be called Christians.
