Broschiertes Buch

Creed and Personal Identity

Beschreibung

In eight chapters, David Harned explores the theology of the Apostles' Creed, taking the position that the creed, in fact, provides us with a master image for self-understanding, and that controlling image is ""child of God."" The creed is seen as being important for personality formation and the development of ""character,"" rather than as either a statement of beliefs or a loyalty oath. Harned's ninth and final chapter is intended for those who wish to pursue further the question of master imagery for the formation of a Christian Sense of Identity.
