Christian Believer - Knowing God With Heart And Mind
Christian Believer assumes that most church folk - though faithful followers of Jesus they intend to be - know little of
the content of the central teachings of the Christian faith and its ties to Scripture. But they want to know. They want to
know what is at stake in what the church teaches and how it makes a difference in their own lives, what it means to be
Christian, and where we as Christians stand.
Christian doctrine as the basic teaching of the church to the end that informed believing leads to committed
discipleship.

- Christian Believer aims at addressing the uncertainty about the substance of the Christian faith and the
connection between believing and living. - Christian Believer assumes that participants are already followers of Jesus and that they come to the study to
understand the faith they already have. - Christian Believer emphasizes the head as well as the heart.
- Christian Believer recognizes that Christians say the creeds without understanding everything or even
assenting to everything in them because in saying them they identify with the people and the tradition shaped by
the confession. - They recognize that "faith seeking understanding" belongs to Christian experience. Christian Believer allows
space for questions, doubts, dissent. - The goal of Christian Believer is to make available to people the substance to the Christian faith that the church
has confessed as a way of connecting to God and living faithfully.
