Our Hope: The Lord's Prayer (Applications in Theology, Part 3)
Having seen how the essence of our faith is expressed in the Apostles’ Creed, we now look at how our hope is found in the Lord’s Prayer. In doing this, we continue following the example of Augustine’s succinct summary of biblical Christianity in his Handbook on Faith, Hope, and Love.
Our Love: The Ten Commandments, Part 1 (Applications in Theology, Part 4)
