What's a Christian, Anyway?: Recovering Christian Credibility in an Age of Confusion and Corruption

In an age when Christianity has been corrupted and co-opted by cultural forces and agendas, pastor and theologian Glenn Packiam shows how an ancient Creed can save the modern church–and it just might save your faith along the way.
Today's church has a credibility problem. We've pursued the wrong priorities. We've put our hope in the wrong personalities. We've elevated popularity over witness. And it's not just the church that's lost; we are too. As culture wars rage and competing voices vie for influence, many Christians are left wondering, What does it even mean to be a Christian, anyway?
Fortunately, the church has been here before–and it already has a powerful resource to help Christians find their way home: the Nicene Creed. Readers who take this journey with Packiam will
discover that the Creed–born in a time of controversy, confusion, and disunity much like today–is not just a statement of beliefs, but an invitation to a new reality;
experience in these ancient words a forgotten path to becoming credible, believable witnesses to the way of Jesus; and
learn to live into the Creed's beautiful story, stunning hope, and powerful vision of what it means to be Christians.
The world yearns for the gospel's joy and peace. This book is a timely reminder that the gospel is only believable when Christians live it. If followers of Jesus have lost their way in a confusing and cynical world, then believing and living out the Creed is a forgotten path to a credible faith.
