Modern Christians have often hesitated to embrace the ancient creeds
because of our "nothing but the Bible" tradition. In What Christians
Ought to Believe Video Lectures, together with the accompanying book
What Christians Ought to Believe, Michael Bird opens our eyes to the
Apostles' Creed as a resource to explore and understand the basic
teachings of the Christian faith.
Bringing together theological commentary, tips for application, and
memorable illustrations, What Christians Ought to Believe Video
Lectures summarizes the basic tenets of the Christian faith using the
Apostles' Creed as the entryway. After first emphasizing the importance
of creeds for the formation of the Christian faith, lessons introduce
core beliefs about the Father, the Son, the Spirit, and the Church.
What Christians Ought to Believe Video Lectures is ideally suited for
both the classroom and the church setting to help beginning students and
lay learners wanting to better understand what Christians ought to
affirm if they are to be called Christians.
