Resource review: Christianity Explored
Review by Cedric Hobbs, Oxfordshire, UK
|
Christianity Explored focuses primarily on Jesus and response to Jesus. The video talks are half as long as Alpha talks and are filmed in a variety of settings rather than a hall. The course is based on Mark's gospel, which means that enquirers get to grips with a defined part of the Bible. However, there is no emphasis on personal experience of the Holy Spirit in the way Alpha presents it. |
