The Nicene Creed. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.The Nicene Creed

Throughout history, creeds have served as one of the great instruments of Christian unity. Summaries of the faith, written by the ancients and recited down through the ages, have helped Christians to learn what they believe, share it with the world, and be connected to each other across time and culture. But how far can the 'unity' of the creeds take us? What if we say the words but we're not sure what they mean? Or what if different people use the same words to mean different things? Can believers from Catholic and evangelical backgrounds find genuine unity in the creeds? In this book, written to mark the 1700th anniversary of the wonderful Nicene Creed, a team of experienced Bible teachers, pastors and scholars examine the creed afresh from an evangelical perspective. Together, they offer a compelling vision for the creed's place in the Christian life - a vision driven by careful attention to detail, a deep desire for gospel unity, and a passion for proclaiming Jesus in all his glory.

Mark Gilbert works for Certainty4Eternity, an organization established to help churches share the gospel with people from a Roman Catholic background.

Mark has published a number of books and articles to help with this task, including 'The God Who Saves', 'The Road Once Travelled', 'Stepping Out in Faith', and 'Talking With Catholics About Jesus' (a course).
