The Faith We Affirm: Basic Beliefs of Disciples of Christ

by Ronald E. Osborn

This overview is based on the statement of faith in the Preamble to The Design for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Designed to engage Disciples in thinking responsibly about the faith we affirm in the light of our heritage, this resource will work as either an individual or group study. Written by Ronald E. Osborn, a distinguished teacher and writer and the first moderator of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) at its establishment, The Faith We Affirm includes six chapters that can be used for an intensive six-session course or divided to supply a quarter's study. Questions for discussion and reflection end each chapter.

[Robert D. Cornwall · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ron Osborn was one of the "founders" of the Disciples as a modern denomination, and this book, though dated in many ways, stands as a testament of his interpretation of what Disciples Theology looks like.
