Description: Why do Orthodox Christians use icons in worship? What is the “baptism in the Holy Spirit” that Pentecostals speak about? Why do Roman Catholics focus on the Eucharist in worship? What do Lutherans teach us about salvation? What do Presbyterians teach us about God’s power? How can Episcopalians deepen our prayer life? What can Baptists teach us about living for Christ?

Adam Hamilton will begin answering these questions and more in this eight-session, video-and-book study. Participants will learn of the history, theology, and distinctive emphases of eight different Christian denominations and faith traditions. For each tradition, participants will hear from a clergy member of that tradition and look at Scriptures that have shaped that faith. Churches that purchase the study will be given tools and sermon starters to create a congregation wide emphasis, shaping worship around elements of each denomination as it is studied.

The eight sessions are:
1. Orthodoxy: Mystery, Liturgy, and Tradition
2. Catholicism: Sacrament and Mass
3. Lutheranism: Word and Faith
4. Presbyterianism: The Sovereignty of God
5. Anglicanism: Common Prayer
6. Baptists: Baptism, Conversion, and Scripture
7. Pentecostalism: The Power of the Spirit
8. Methodists: People of the Extreme Center
DVD comes with Participant's Book and Leader's Guide
Age Groups: Young Adult; Adult (30-55); Adult (55+)
