Have you ever wondered just what you have to believe to be a Christian? Perhaps you learned an answer at the time of Confirmation but things have changed since then, you think differently. Here is a book which could help you work through this and other basic questions you haven't asked for a while, such as, " What do we mean by "original sin" or "the resurrection of the body"?The author doesn't give dogmatic answers but rather suggests helpful new ways to look at old questions.
