"Being Presbyterian"

Session Three

Foundations of Faith

Topic: The Christian Traditions and Foundations that Inform the Reformed Faith Tradition

During this session I would like you to review the first three readings: "Old Testament World," "New Testament World," and "Early Christianity." Then review "Women in Minstry" which develops the history of the enfranchisment of women into the ministry and government of the Presbyterian Church. If you desire you can also review Presbyterian History. Finally study the concepts of "Creator God," "Redeemer God" and "Sustainer God" followed by "The Sacraments."

Resources:

After having completed your readings, view the following short videos that discuss many of the concepts you encountered in your readings.
