Although now featuring a new cover, The Faith We Affirm, by Ronald E. Osborn, remains the same useful resource on the inside. 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. 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.
