Beskrivning

Denominations. The word itself often sparks strong reactions, causing us to wonder if there are merits to our factions and if it’s possible to come together as one.Showing how denominational affiliation can be natural without being negative, and how evangelical identity can help rather than hinder Christian unity, Why We Belong explains both the personal and doctrinal reasons each of the following contributors fit not only in their church, but also in the Church: Gerald L. Bray (Anglican)Timothy F. George (Baptist)Douglas A. Sweeney (Lutheran)Timothy C. Tennent (Methodist)Byron D. Klaus (Pentecostal)Bryan Chapell (Presbyterian)Demonstrating that Christians have significant reasons for identifying with a denomination, this book also helps us see and belong to something much larger than our own traditions—the family of God. Includes essays on church unity (Christopher Morgan) and denominationalism (David Dockery)Teaches Christians to embrace differences while maintaining unity with believers in other traditions
