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.
