Journeys of Faith: Evangelicalism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Catholicism, and Anglicanism
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
On average, Americans change their religious affiliation at least once during their lifetime. Today, a number of evangelical Christians are converting to Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Anglicanism. Journeys of Faith examines the movement between these traditions from various perspectives. Four prominent converts to Eastern Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Evangelicalism, and Anglicanism describe their new faith traditions and their spiritual journeys into them. Response chapters offer respectful critiques. This book will provide readers with first-hand accounts of thoughtful Christians changing religious affiliation or remaining true to the traditions they have always known. Pastors, counselors, and students of theology will gain a wealth of insight into current faith migration within the church today.
Top Highlights
“I had seen, firsthand, the practical consequences of a tradition that puts a premium on individual conversion, the public sharing of one’s faith, and the reliance on the authority of Scripture as the only written Word of God. These virtues—that are often found in abundance in the best of Evangelical churches—are often diminished by, and thus significantly lacking among, even observant Catholics. This is, sadly, one of the consequences of a divided Western Christianity.” (Page 113)
“I concluded that he was correct that Scripture could not by itself be the source of theological knowledge without the assistance of philosophical reflection.” (Page 86)
“One of the most pronounced and crucial differences between Catholicism and Protestantism is their understanding of salvation.” (Page 120)
“Moreover, works done in faith by God’s grace contribute to our inward transformation and eventual justification.” (Page 94)
