The Apostles’ Creed: A Guide to the Ancient Catechism

Like the Creed, this gem of a book answers the question, “What do Christians believe?” But because it is sensitive to the unique doubts and fears and cynicism of the 21st century, it winsomely answers the question behind that question: “How could Christians possibly believe that?” Myers shows as much as he tells, introducing us to the audacious wisdom of ancient voices whose insights prove timely and perennial. This is the catechesis we need for a secular age, overcoming the forgetting we parade as enlightenment.

I am very thankful to Ben Myers for his concise, readable commentary on the Apostles’ Creed! He joins the refreshing movement that is retrieving the church’s long and well-established theological consensus and urging the contemporary church to embrace this wisdom from the past. His book helps today’s church confess the Apostles’ Creed as essential truth about the triune God and the salvation he offers.
