Here We Stand: Where Nazarenes Fit in the Religious Marketplace

Believe anything you want.

The twentieth century has brought with it a myriad of opinions, philosophies, doctrines and ideologies. Each one of them important; each one valid. And the world says, "Believe what you want."

Authors Wes Tracy and Stan Ingersol have authored Here We Stand to shatter that conclusion. More than ever, it is important that we know what we believe. Here We Stand is a comprehensive study of a wide range of beliefs and where Nazarenes fit into the ideological puzzle. Tracy and Ingersol provide the most contemporary and complete overview of major religions and religious beliefs since Why I Am a Nazarene.

Nazarenes have the unique opportunity to reestablish their identity with a new generation of people. Here We Stand gives a clear view into other traditions in a language and approach understood by today's pastors and laymen. Here We Stand contributes to the distinctiveness of each group without sacrificing the Christian community as a whole.

Tracy and Ingersol present a well-documented inquiry and exposition of various religious beliefs, lending pastors, scholars and students the historical and theological foundation they need to establish identity and ownership among new and life-long Nazarenes.
