Questions on Christian Faith and the Bible Taizé
It is our very nature to question. We are constantly searching for answers, especially in our faith lives.
New!
We want to understand our God and our faith in Christ Jesus. While it is impossible to ever know
the mind of God, it is our questioning that propels us into a closer relationship with our all-knowing, almighty
God.
Some of the questions addressed in this book are: How can we know God? Is God just? Is
poverty a gospel value? How can we make our lives a sacrifice? The biblically minded meditations
following each question serve as a starting point. While they may shed light on some issues, they will most
assuredly evoke further speculation. This is exactly what the brothers of Taizé intended. Your questions will serve
as new beginnings, leading you on an ever-deepening journey of faith where you will enter more fully into the
mystery of God. This resource from Taizé is a perfect faith-sharing tool for small Christian communities, youth
groups, and for personal study and reflection.
