When was the church founded? Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God and
not of a religious organization subsequently called church. We
don't find in the Gospels expressions which make reference to the
foundation of a new religious community, a new and distinct
community of followers of Jesus. But after the resurrection of
Jesus, his followers, as a result of his express command, gather
together not only those from the people of Israel but men and women
of all nations. The final clauses of the Nicene Creed spell out,
briefly and to the point, the church's self-understanding in these
early centuries. Angelo Di Berardino assembles a wide range of
texts and teachers of the church during these years to enrich our
understanding and deepen our faith in the great mysteries expressed
here. The Creed quickly hits the four marks of the church--that it
is "one holy catholic and apostolic." What do we mean by professing
each of these? Di Berardino helps us to give an answer with the
help of the fathers of the church. The volume closes, as does the
Creed, with a consideration of baptism (the traditional entrance
for people into the church) and two central features of the church
in the future--the expectation that all of God's people will enjoy
the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
