Christianity's Family Tree

Adam Hamilton presents a generous inspiring vision of eight Christian denominations and faith traditions. Comparing the Christian family to our own extended families he contends that each denomination has a unique valuable perspective to offer on the Christian faith. The traditions included in this eight-week video-and-print study are Orthodoxy Catholicism Lutheranism Presbyterianism Anglicanism Baptists Pentecostalism and Methodism. For each group Hamilton gives a brief history outlines major beliefs and describes some things we can learn from that tradition to strengthen our own Christian faith. As part of the study he interviews a religious leader from each tradition.The Leaders Guide includes: Flexible session formats to accommodate shorter or longer meeting times Helpful hints for facilitating group sessions Step-by-step session plans for each week including goals prayers Scripture discussion questions activities key insights notable quotes and leader extras Reproducible handouts for participants to take home and use during the week
