No preacher should send his or her congregants home from worship with their heads hurting, but there is a growing sense that the Church could benefit these days from a revival of doctrinal preaching, ie teaching the fundamentals of Christian belief. Where better to start, than with the Apostles' Creed? It was this conviction that brought together a group of the most outstanding theologians and preachers from the English-speaking world to write this book. The group includes the Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge (David Ford), the great and hugely lamented Colin Gunton, Professor Frances Young from Birmingham, and the Dean of King's College, London, Dr Richard Burridge. The authors are from different denominations and include Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans and people from the United Reformed Church. The Apostles' Creed was chosen as the basis of this work because of its narrative structure, confessional character, liturgical familiarity and ecumenical appeal. It was formulated and adopted as doctrine at The Council of Nicea for the Universal Church. Anchoring doctrinal reflection to this historic creed can focus our faith and restrain our eccentric tendencies.Each chapter includes an essay and a sermon to assist exploration and proclamation of the Creed. The authors identify biblical sources, trace how the doctrine was perceived and interpreted in Christian history, and reflect theologically on the confession for our turbulent times. As one of the contributors has written: "Before they counsel, instruct, warn or comfort, preachers must proclaim"
