β¦ Synopsis
You recite it. But do you understand it?
The Apostlesβ Creed has become so familiar to us that we donβt think about what weβre saying. Christians from different times, places, and traditions have been united by its eternal truths. We believe them, we recite them, but do we build our lives on them?
The fact that so many in the early church died for their faith means they were caught up in something greater than themselves. What were those truths? How did they empower a revolution? How did early church pastors and theologians use the Apostlesβ Creed as the essential guide to the basics of the Christian life?
Ben Myers re-introduces that creed. He shows us what about the Christian faith is so counter-cultural, and what truths embedded in the Apostlesβ Creed weβve come to assume, when really they should amaze us and earn our allegiance unto death.
