On Being Presbyterian: Our Beliefs, Practices, and Stories
2006, Sean Michael Lucas
4.8/5
This is a brief look at the nuts and bolts of Presbyterianism. Fairly well-written, straightforward and useful book. The section on Presbyterian history was my favorite part- concise, engaging and detailed enough.Broken into 3 sections: beliefs/doctrine, practice (the outworking of beliefs), and stories/Presbyterian history. The first two sections weren't anything groundbreaking to me, but would be a valuable rundown on reformed Presbyterian life and thought for anyone interested. *As another reviewer said- In some cases a different book focused on reformed theology more generally might be most appropriate for someone new to reformed thinking.But for any person possessing some theological baseline and looking to grasp a distinctively Presbyterian perspective- this would be great.
