Synopsis

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, What Christians Ought to Believe: Audio Lectures includes high-quality live recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources. Modern Christians have often hesitated to embrace the ancient creeds because of our "nothing but the Bible" tradition. In What Christians Ought to Believe: Audio Lectures, 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: Audio 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: Audio 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.

This text’s greatest strength (aside from the recommenced reading) is its simplicity. Bird does not delve too deeply into doctrines; instead, he focuses on the core tenets of Christianity as the ancient foundation of our faith today. It was a great reminder of how beautiful Christianity is at its co......more

The word that comes to mind is “fun.” This book was truly fun to read. There are moments when the lighthearted personality of Bird is a little too much for me, but I was impressed by the easy way he engaged with the Apostles’ Creed. Zingers and insightful commentary were a constant presence. There m......more

4.5 Stars Michael Bird provides a fresh exposition of the Apostles' Creed deeply rooted in the "faith once delivered for the saints". His irenic tone means that this is a fruitful study across denominational lines.......more

Goodreads review by Ethan on January 17, 2025

Solid overview on the creed but doesn’t go nearly deep enough for the page count (it’s not even close to being long). Easy to read but wish it looked at some of the nuances of the creed and its history......more
