The Struggle of Faith in a World of Beliefs: The Question of Orthodoxy
()
About this ebook
Christians have always struggled with what should characterize their lives and actions in the world. Often, they have inferred that their identity as Christians should revolve around either a list of doctrines proposed as orthodox or a set of ethics designed to promote a common morality. Usually, this emphasis on doctrines and ethics obscures the essential character of Christian faith. As a result, the real struggle has been to keep ones Christian faith intact while different, and sometimes opposing, beliefs or traditions compete for ones loyalty.
This book presents a way to resolve this struggle by noting the definitive characteristics of a Christian and the roles a church plays in helping Christians develop their full potential as human beings.
