New Book Title

A Christian leader I greatly admire has a new book out. Chuck Colson has penned The Faith: What Christians Believe, Why They Believe it, and Why it Matters. I have not yet read it, but after coming across two interviews with him about the book, one with Newsweek and one on the Bible Answer Man Program, I just had to order it.

Of course, I cannot say until I actually read it through, but the book appears to closely parallel my favorite of the early Church’s creeds, The Nicene Creed.

Here is the teaser: “The word ‘Christianity’ conjures up many pictures, depending on who defines it. But Chuck Colson asserts that the faith ‘given once for all’ is an invitation to a wonderful vision of life, open to all who will come. The Faith invites all who will — whether believers or skeptics — to explore the basic doctrines of Christianity and find out for themselves what it really means to be called a disciple of Christ — and how to live as a disciple.”

In an age in which doctrine is becoming increasingly unfashionable within Christian circles (and increasingly more necessary to combat error), this sounds like just the book that was needing to be written. So thanks, Chuck!
