About Faith Hope Love: The Essentials Of Christianity For
Product Description What is at the heart of this diverse, messy, and sometimes horribly misrepresented faith called Christianity? Most attempts to summarize the Christian faith are either overwhelmingly detailed or skewed to a specific denomination, but Faith Hope Love offers an updated explanation that is both concise in its content and interdenominational in its approach. Distilled from historical Christian beliefs and rooted in three classic Christian words, Faith Hope Love artfully expresses the beauty of Christian faith for anyone who is: - Curious about how Christianity forms in its followers a sense purpose, meaning, identity, perseverance, and ethics - addressing the question, ''Why can't I just try to be a 'good person' instead?'' - Confused about why there are so many versions of Christianity and if are there any basic beliefs that unite them - answering concerns like, ''Do I have to read the Bible literally?, '' or ''How can hell be compatible with God's love?'' - Skeptical that Christianity is any different from any other religion that is used for social control - responding to the fear, ''Will Christianity just try to make me conform more and think less?'' Faith Hope Love finally fills a much-needed niche in contemporary theological literature. Author and pastor Colin Kerr offers an introduction to the Christian faith that is both academic enough for educational use and accessible enough for Millennials and Gen Z-ers to explore for themselves. Review "You can get a lot of attention these days and sell a lot of books if you figure out an "updated" version of Christian faith that rejects classic convictions and conforms to the values of this age. Colin Kerr hasn't twisted the Christian story to fit contemporary assumptions, but instead has retold the story in a way that speaks to this generation of believers, questioners, doubters, and open-minded atheists." - Mark D. Roberts (PhD, MDiv), Executive Director of the Max De Pree Center for Leadership, Fuller Theological Seminary "What Christianity needs now is less argument and more demonstration, and Kerr simply tries to demonstrate that Christianity can be beautiful. At this, he succeeds wonderfully." - Jimmy Kaiser, President of Christian Surfers in North America ''Faith Hope Love offers something disarmingly simple, but surprisingly powerful: an understanding of what really sits at the heart of Christianity and a reason to believe in a time when fewer and fewer people do.'' - Rev. Layton Williams, author of Holy Disunity: How What Separates Us Can Save Us "Honoring the curiosity, confusion, and skepticism we all experience, Kerr points us to the truth and beauty of a God we can believe in and a grace in which we can live." - Rev. Nikki Collins, National Coordinator of 1001 New Worshiping Communities "This book is at once winsome, generous, and engaging. Colin Kerr presents Christianity in terms a new generation will not only understand but embrace." - Matthew Schlimm (PhD), Professor of Old Testament at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary and author of This Strange and Sacred Scripture "With a healthy blend of biblical exegesis, discussion of the historical faith of the church, and theological imagination, Kerr presents the Christian faith in a manner that is engaging and understandable for readers at any stage in their faith journey. It is just as recommendable for those seeking an introduction to what Christianity is about as it is for those within the church who would like to better understand the Great Tradition." - Jordan Ryan (PhD), Assistant Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College
