The book of Readings includes brief selections from the writings of ancient and modern Christians on the great doctrines of the Christian faith. Each week's readings relate to the topic of the lesson in the Study Manual. The Christian Believer program focuses on classical teachings of the Christian faith--presenting, explaining, and interpreting them in a way that participants can understand, through the use of words, symbols, and hymns. Over a 30-week period, participants will examine the writings of ancient and modern Christian commentators and view video presentations by leading Bible scholars.
