About Libris Fidei
At Libris Fidei, our mission is to equip the church by reading and reflecting. The Church needs to read books of faith, or libris fidei, to help us reflect on the great glory and wonderful story of Jesus Christ our Lord. Our desire is for the glory to be given to God alone in all things, to the praise of his holy name.
Soli Deo Gloria.
Our Philosophy
The philosophy of Libris Fidei is to read widely, charitably, and critically and to reflect biblically with the Church.
In reading widely, we believe that we should not fear to read those with whom we disagree. As Christ is Lord over all, there is value and knowledge to be gained from diverse thinkers, stories, and subjects.
In reading charitably, we seek to approach disagreement with respectful humility and to represent authors fairly and accurately.
In reading critically, we seek to engage thoughtfully, deeply, and analytically with thoughts and arguments, looking to see if the truth is to be found.
In reflecting biblically, we seek to base our lives and beliefs on the inspired Word of God. To do this, we must also read and reflect on the scriptures themselves.
Finally, we read and reflect with the Church. The Church has for thousands of years maintained the Great Tradition, the collective thoughts, wisdom, and reflections of the universal Church in every age. We are united with the saints of the past, and we are united with the saints globally today.
As we are one in Christ, we at Libris Fidei seek to edify one another and to be edified by the collective Church.
What We Believe
Libris Fidei stands in the Protestant confessional tradition and affirms the early creeds of the Church, including the Apostle’s Creed, Nicene Creed, Chalcedonian Definition, and Athanasian Creed. Our contributors come from a diverse background of denominational traditions and beliefs but share a commitment to the one faith of Jesus Christ summarized in the creeds and symbolized in the Five Solas of the Protestant Reformation.
