5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite on the Creed overall, March 2, 2005
By Raymond Cannata "Rev. R. Cannata" (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Concise, inexpensive, nicely packaged, clearly written. And by someone who is both highly competent (Oxford prof.) and actually believes the Creed is true. The study questions at the end of each chapter, and teh non-techical approach make this idea for small group discussion or a c.e. class.

Overall, this would be my first choice. For those who want more words and a slightly more pugnacious approach, also get Michale Horton We Believe. For a GREAT intro., and some other good insights, by a Catholic scholar who is less orthodox than McGrath -- Luke Timothy Johnson's new The Creed (2003) is a good second choice. For a variety of moderately liberal and neo-orthodox perspectives, and a mix of theological and sermonic materials, check out the new Van Harn, ed., Exploring and Proclaiming The Apostles' Creed (2004). But get McGrath first.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good basic introduction to the Creed, December 10, 1999
This has been a good little book for my own personal study. It can clarify just what we mean when we say things like "I belive in the communion of saints."

Highly recommended for someone who is curious in exploring some of the basic tenets of the Christian faith. Good for group study.

5.0 out of 5 stars Discover the basis of this statement of faith, March 7, 2006
We are using this book in a Small Group study. The author's insight into both the scriptural basis for the statements in the Creed and the historical development and context for the Creed is excellent. We're learning a lot...
