"Exemplifies what Christian instruction at its best can be" This informed and accessible introduction to the Nicene Creed explains how the Creed is anchored in the Bible and how it came to be written and confessed in the early history of the church. "Seasoned theologians Ortiz and Keating here introduce the Creed in a book that would make a great textbook for introductory theology classes as well as for study groups. Deeply rooted in Scripture and the Church Fathers, this book exemplifies what Christian instruction at its best can be." --Matthew Levering, Mundelein Seminary "This splendid book provides a brilliant presentation of the Nicene Creed that is richly historical but accessible, and conceptually profound but clear, so that readers can understand why Christianity teaches and professes what it does. The book functions both as an excellent introduction to Christianity and as a reference for the pursuit of deeper understanding of the Catholic faith." --Thomas Joseph White, OP, Pontifical University of St. Thomas (Angelicum) "A wonderful tool--indeed, a treasure trove--for those prepared to follow the authors in unpacking these rich phrases that Christians have recited for centuries. Here is a powerful antidote that helps us to 'overcome our contemporary allergy to truth' as we lean deeply into the Nicene Creed, understanding how it addressed the problems of its day and continues to speak powerfully to our own age." --Edith M. Humphrey, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary (emerita) "This superb exposition of the Creed, written by two faithful Catholic scholars, shows how this classic statement has practical relevance for believers of all confessions. A true treasure for the Lord's people everywhere!" --Timothy George, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University; cochair of Evangelicals and Catholics Together "An extremely well-thought-out introduction to the Nicene Creed. This book connects the Creed to both Testaments, church history, the words of the Church Fathers, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the prayers of the church in a way that not only teaches but also deepens faith." --Jonathan J. Reyes, Knights of Columbus
