The book is written in language that is accessible to everyone, offering insights into what The Preamble means for today’s Disciples. Affirmations is a study of specific declarations in The Preamble, beginning with the confession of faith. Thomas Kleinert helps the reader understand that while there is no official interpretation of The Preamble readers can take something from it and relate to circumstances in our own time. Each chapter, deftly written, is an examination of the core of what The Preamble means to Disciples.
