The Nicene Creed's powerful summary of Christian faith has stood the
test of time, embodying core truths and distinguishing essential
Christian teachings from those of lesser importance. As respected
thinker and educator David Willis explores the Nicene Creed in this new
book, he provides clues for meaningfully interpreting this most
ecumenical of church creeds in the twenty-first century.
Writing especially for educated
laypeople, advanced students, and theological educators, Willis
eloquently links the ancient creed to life today. As he points out,
faith is constantly taking different shapes within broad boundaries like
the creed's perennial truths, and even these truths need to be
reinterpreted in each age to keep them intelligible and compelling.
Willis admirably achieves this task for our day by elucidating the
creed's statement of faith with analogies drawn from such diverse areas
as architecture, graphic art, poetry, sculpture, and psychological
theory.
Those seeking to delve into the creed or to deepen a lifelong encounter with it will be enriched by Willis's reflections. 186 pages, softcover from Eerdmans.
