4.0 out of 5 stars
A very intelligent and very clear summary of the faith,
By A Customer
This review is from: Renewing Your Mind: Basic Christian Beliefs You Need to Know (Paperback)
This book is very well written. The writing is very clear, very precise, and intelligent. This book does not present an in-depth analysis of the Christian faith, but by it's own admission describes the "basic beliefs" - and it does that admirably. This is "vanilla" Christianity presented simply and fairly. R.C. Sproul walks the reader through the meaning behind the Apostles' Creed one line at a time, sometimes quoting historical and modern theologians and intellects, and both praises and chides Christian groups where applicable according to the subject of each chapter.

The Truth of the Creed Renews the Mind,
This review is from: Renewing Your Mind: Basic Christian Beliefs You Need to Know (Paperback)
Books on theological doctrine - and their accompanying difficult terminology - have become the dinosaurs of the world of Christian literature. Thus, the volume one usually purchases is a compendium of clichés, a treatise on subjective feelings and vain mysticism, free-floating sentimentality that provide an emotional buzz. RC Sproul delivers a book that breaks that stereotype in "Renewing Your Mind." His exposition on the basic Christian beliefs is both sound and appealing.
Sproul is founder of Ligonier Ministries and has authored over fifty books. "When a person embraces the Christian faith and says with assurance, `I believe...' then that person has truly embarked upon life. This book is about living that life to the fullest, about renewing your mind so that your thinking conforms to the mind of Christ" (back cover). The author expounds and applies the Apostles' Creed in an engaging and easy-to-understand style. The book was previously published as "The Symbol" in 1973 and "Basic Training" in 1982. Chapters include: - Confess or profess - God talk - Chaos and dignity - The Virgin Birth - Suffering Servant - Grave with a view - Victors, now and forever. This is a solid and engaging modern book on the Apostles' Creed. Advantageous for study groups or personal devotions.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good intro to the creed,
By Bobby Bambino (Lebanon, NH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Renewing Your Mind: Basic Christian Beliefs You Need to Know (Paperback)
This is Sproul's first book, so it isn't quite as polished or as deep as his others, but it is still good. The book is a meditation on the Apostle's Creed. Each chapter is devoted to a line or two, and RC analyzes the line and how we as Christians understand it. It's a solid work, and probably good for a beginner who is new to Christianity or the creeds.
