Synopsis

The Apostles Creed is one of the earliest summaries of the Christian faith, and is accepted by most forms of Christianity. It is a simple statement of 12 beliefs – each central to Christianity. It begins with: “I believe”, and each of the 12 statements is the statement of a certain belief, thus the title of the book. This is an important contribution to understanding the meaning of Christianity. Written in easy to understand, but never superficial, language. This is a particularly engaging book, for anyone who wants to understand Christian thought, and gain a deeper appreciation of it. This book can also be used to great effect in Church discussion groups.

About this title

About the Author

Garth Daniel Hodnett was born in Johannesburg, South Africa on 24 December 1968. He attended Christian Brothers Collage in Boksburg, a Catholic, boys-only, school. He and his parents went to the Baptist church. He found Christianity to be vaguely unsatisfactory. After school he moved on to study at the University of the Witwatersrand: psychology, philosophy and world religions, searching for the meaning of life. At this time he was fortunate enough to meet Prof. Ben Engelbrecht, a former student of Van Ruler, who introduced him to Van Ruler's work. Almost immediately he knew that he had found the truth (or it had found him). He studied Van Ruler's theology in his Honour's and Master's degree at Wits, and continued in his Th.D. at the University of Stellenbosch.
