Summary

The Nicene Creed has stood the test of time because its powerful summary of Christian faith helps us to distinguish between the teachings that are essential, core truths and those that are of secondary importance. In this new book David Willis explores this most ecumenical of church creeds and provides clues for interpreting its statements meaningfully here in the twenty-first century.

Excerpts

"The Nicene Creed's powerful summary of Christian faith has stood the test of time, embodying core truths and distinguishing essential Christian teachings from those of lesser importance. As respected thinker and educator David Willis explores the Nicene Creed in this new book, he provides clues for meaningfully interpreting this most ecumenical of church-creeds in the twenty-first century. Writing especially for educated laypeople, advanced students, and theological educators, Willis links the ancient creed to life today."--BOOK JACKET.
