| Summary: | This text - growing out of many years of study and consultation, involving theologians from various Christian traditions and from all parts of the world - is a unique instrument for drawing the churches toward such a common confession. As a contemporary explication of the creed that emerged from the ecumenical councils of Nicea (325) and Constantinople (381) and is used in both Eastern and Western Christian liturgies, this book relates the subject matter of those ancient affirmations to the challenges of today's world - in which the language and philosophy of the fourth century sound alien to many, and the basic affirmations of the Christian faith are widely questioned. This new edition includes an introduction written by Dame Mary Tanner, a president of the World Council of Churches. - Publisher info. |
