5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent introductory approach to theology,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Creed: The Apostolic Faith in Contemporary Theology (Paperback)
This book is a one volume compendium of Catholic Theology organized around the Nicene-Constantinople Creed. In addition to a detailed explantion of basic theological principles, the book also traces the history of the creed especially during the first centuries and details the many heresies that contributed to each word being carefully chosen for the final product. The author offers the reader many keen insights into the inner workings of the magisterium as each ecumenical council wrestled with the many agendas presented by the disparate factions who were represented.

This is an excellent resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Creed: The Apostolic Faith in Contemporary Theology (Paperback)
This book is an excellent resource for anyone who is interested in obtaining a clear and concise understanding of the Nicene Creed. Father Berard gives a thorough explanation of each article of the Nicene Creed from a biblical, historical and ecumenical perspective.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Made the Creed relevant for me today,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Creed: The Apostolic Faith in Contemporary Theology (Paperback)
Marthaler's book was extremely helpful to me in putting the Creed into a context that is relevant for me today. Gender and the Nicene Creed by Elizabeth Geitz, an Episcopal priest, is an excellent companion to it, offering a completely different perspective. Worship is much more meaningful to me now that I have a clearer idea of what the Creed means. Mindless recitation is over for me!
