The Creed is a compendium of the Christian faith: it contains the core truths to which discipleship is our response. This very readable book guides the reader through the Creed, line by line. Each statement is explained and reflected on, in a way that seeks to show the wisdom, beauty and practicality of the faith. Truth by truth and phrase by phrase, this book shows us that the content of the Creed is no mere set of abstractions, but can speak to us in ways that are surprisingly concrete and down to earth. From the opening ‘I believe’ to the closing ‘Amen’, Christopher Hayden helps us to see that our faith is an inestimable treasure, and encourages us to be more confident in embracing it as a guide for living.
