Its Origin and Signification. "There are many students who have been, and indeed still are, earnest Christians; and though their faith has gradually broadened out into unorthodoxy, they have retained a strong affection for the forms and ceremonials of the religion into which they were born. It is a pleasure to them to hear the recitation of the ancient prayers and creeds. I have thought that it might be of interest to such students to have some slight account of the real meaning and origin of those very remarkable basic formulæ of the Church which are called the Creeds, so that when they hear them or join in their recital the ideas brought into their minds thereby may be the grander and nobler ones originally connected with them, rather than the misleading materialism of modern misapprehension." Contents: Earlier Creeds; Their Origin; Descent into Matter; Exposition of the Creeds; Athanasian Creed.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A Must Read for all Christian Mystics!,
By Abraxus (Lehi, UT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Christian Creed (Paperback)
CWL delineates the real meaning behind the words we learned verbatim standing at our pew each Sunday. His esoteric teaching provides great insight and value to those of us who knew that there had to be something more that what they have been telling us. Excellent!
