What Do Christians Believe? (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

A lucid summary and interpretation of the Christian faith from "one of the leading Christian poets of our time" (Jeremy Begbie, Duke University).

"I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another."--Jesus Christ

Christianity began as a minor sect within Judaism and has become one of the major world religions. What started as a small group of people who shared the same language, lifestyle and background is now a movement which embraces many different languages and cultures, giving rise to an astonishing variety of practices and interpretations--yet all with a common basis of shared faith inspired by the teaching, life, death and new life of a carpenter from Nazareth. How did this happen?

What Do Christians Believe? was written for the reader looking for quick practical insights into the beliefs and practices of Christianity. Jesus himself identified love as the essential element in both worship and daily life. Using this teaching, and the core Christian belief that Jesus was God's way of opening himself to humanity, theologian, poet, and songwriter Malcolm Guite explains the inner meaning of such key Christian teachings as atonement, redemption and the concept of God as Trinity.
