\"I do not hope to convince you so that you will believe,\" says Justo Gonz lez to open this brief book on the basics of Christianity. \"That is to be left to the Holy Spirit. I write to you because you share the faith by which I live. I write so that you may share my joy in seeking to understand better this truth that our hearts believe and love.\"

In Knowing Our Faith Gonz lez introduces the Christian faith in direct, contemporary language that does not assume prior knowledge. While recognizing the existence of various denomi-nations and theological positions, Gonz lez focuses on the core faith of the Christian church through the centuries. Covering all the key topics--revelation, God, Jesus Christ, the Spirit, the church, Christian hope, and others--Knowing Our Faith will help readers to understand the Christian faith better--and, above all, to live it better.
