Author text to follow

“Not long ago the Apostles’ Creed was known by heart by a great number of people. It is an ancient, succinct summary of Christian belief, expressing the great fundamentals of faith relating to God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Alan Robinson’s phrase-by-phrase commentary offers a comprehensive analysis, rich in bible references and application to the modern world. It will refresh those who have known and loved this statement of faith for many years, and will enlighten the newcomer equally. May this book serve to renew the use of the Apostles’ Creed in contemporary worship, in personal devotion and in studies which introduce the faith and apply it to daily life.” The Right Reverend Jonathan Bailey, Bishop of Derby

“In the body of this book Alan Robinson explains and discusses the Apostles' Creed by breaking the text down into twenty-two short chapters (‘I believe in God’; ‘the Father Almighty’; ‘Creator of heaven and earth’; etc.). Questions for discussion are provided at the end of each chapter, and an ‘other activities’ section is included at the end of the book.” New Testament Abstracts

Comprehensive, but using simple language, this book will be of interest to all Christian denominations.
