More About This Title I Believe A Guide to the Christian Faith in the Apostles’ Creed

English

“We don’t need all this doctrine and theology. Let’s just go by the Bible.” Have you heard that, or have you even said it yourself ? Yes, of course we need the Bible. It’s the infallible, inerrant, inspired Word of God—our ultimate authority. But disconnecting from the historic creeds and confessions of the church, saying, “Out with the old, in with the new,” merely brings us a fragmented Christian faith. The Apostles’ Creed is a concise, compact statement of basic Christian beliefs affirmed by Christians past and present in every major branch of the historic Christian church. Written in plain and accessible language, Bob Hall’s book shows how this ancient confession of faith connects with ordinary Christians today and allows us to build our lives on an unshakable foundation. I Believe is not only as a benchmark for our own beliefs but also a sound starting point for when we engage with others about the Christian faith.
