Living the Christian Creed (eBook, ePUB)

Theology as Encounter

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Between October 1977 and May 1980, Metropolitan Anthony Bloom delivered a series of 39 talks to an audience in the Russian Orthodox Cathedral at Ennismore Gardens, London, exploring and explaining the deep meaning of the Christian Creed. His words were faithfully transcribed, but before now they have not been available for a wider audience to read.

Living the Christian Creed collects these rich and insightful lectures in print for the first time. There are fourteen chapters which explore the statements in the Nicene Creed, on the themes of: Faith, The Nature of God, God as Creator, Jesus the Word of God, The Son of God in the Teaching of the Church, Redemption and Atonement, The Mother of God, Salvation from Sin, Resurrection and Ascension, Judgment, The Holy Spirit, The Church, Baptism, and Life in Christ.

'The Creed which we recite in the liturgy and which we proclaim as our faith, is not only an introduction into the faith,' said Metropolitan Anthony. 'As everything in Christianity, it possesses in an accessible, simple form an endless, unfathomable depth of content and understanding.'

This collection is edited and introduced by John Binns, Visting Professor at the Institute of Orthodox Studies in Cambridge, and the Foreword is written by former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams.
