Synopsis

This is an accessible introduction to the most widely used church creed. It examines the "Apostles' Creed" phrase by phrase. It considers both the historical significance of the creedal statements and also their implications for Christian faith today. It sits alongside "The Jesus Prayer" by Simon Barrington-Ward in exploring a historic 'building block' of faith and spirituality. It includes questions for group discussion. It is suitable for preachers, teachers & study group leaders, as well as for those training for ministry/studying theology at A Level and upwards, and those preparing adults for church membership. It is also suitable for an ordination gift.
