Synopsis

Contemporary Creed translates ancient beliefs into today's language. It is written for doubters, unsure where they stand in their convictions, and points an intelligent pathway through sixty intellectual problems of traditional Christian beliefs. A library of theology books is compressed into this novel and popular mini-course on modern Christianity, in transparent English, without jargon. Original verse helps animate old truths and solve their difficulties.

Media Reviews
'This unusual book is a tour de force. It turns profundities of Christian doctrine into crisp, epigrammatic and sometimes jocular verse, full of imaginative parable and simile; but it is more. Here is the expression of a hard-won, ruthlessly honest personal faith. The terse, well documented commentary that goes with the verse is exactly right, guiding the reader lucidly to the heart of each problem, and suggesting ways of understanding without skirting the difficulties.' - Revd Professor C. F. D. Moule; 'I was immediately impressed by the author's skill in using poetry and imagination as doorways into the heart of Christianity. This book will be very helpful for seekers who find conventional pedagogy a stumbling block and for established Christians who wish to refresh their faith by getting at it from a different angle. - The Rt. Rev. A. Theodore Eastman, D.D., Bishop of Maryland (retd.); 'Powerful and thought provoking. A great little book for personal devotions, study, and reading during Lent and as preparation for Holy Baptism and/or Confirmation.' - The Rt. Rev. Charles Longest, D.D., Bishop Suffragan of Maryland (retd.)
