| AMAZON DESCRIPTION: A faith should be a living thing. What we believe necessarily evolves in
response to insights into the Bible, to questions or doubts we face, to changes
in life circumstances, or to things that happen in the larger world.
Nevertheless, Christians often find it helpful to identify what they can most
fully believe at a given moment. Such clarity empowers the present and leads us
toward the future. Such moments can also be mile markers by which we measure our
faith journey.
In each chapter the first section lists the most common ways a certain topic
is understood in the Bible. The second section identifies important ways the
church has interpreted that topic since the Bible's inception. The third section
introduces contemporary perspectives. With that foundational knowledge, readers
can make a judgment as to which viewpoints seem more or less persuasive to them
personally. Finally, each chapter ends with questions for reflection for
individuals or small groups.
