What I Believe
I explore the links between Christian faith and personal and public life, shaped by Scripture’s authority, historic Christian orthodoxy, and discipleship in the Way of Jesus. I affirm the Nicene, Apostles’, and Chalcedonian creeds as faithful expressions of that orthodoxy, and I hold the Old and New Testaments as the inspired and trustworthy Word of God, carrying supreme authority for faith and conduct. My work is grounded in the life of the Triune God and centered on Jesus Christ, crucified and risen, whose gospel comes to us as a gift of grace and brings both personal transformation and the common good.
GRAHAM’S LATEST BOOK
WORLD CHRISTIANITY: AN INTRODUCTION
World Christianity: An Introduction provides an accessible introduction to the discipline, methodology, and field of world Christianity. In this book, Graham Joseph Hill engages with more than one hundred high-profile Majority World and First Nations Christian leaders to learn what they can teach the West about mission, leadership, hospitality, creation care, education, worship, and more. Hill challenges the Western church to move away from a Eurocentric and Americentric view of church and mission, and he calls for the church to engage with crucial paradigm shifts in world Christianity. The future of the global church—including the churches in the West—exists in these global exchanges. World Christianity is an indispensable guide for the church as it navigates the unique global experiences of the twenty-first century.
