The Symbol of the Apostles Constantine C Kliora

Publisher Marketing: An intelligent and researched commentary on an ancient Christian Creed is offered to the reader. "The Symbol of the Apostles" is the name of an encapsulated summary of the teachings of the Faith that reaches back to Christianity's earliest days. Each article of the Creed is examined and historical and theological insights are given. Topics with which the author is familiar and which he deems will interest the reader are presented. Appendices are added to describe the origins of other related Creeds. For the scholarly reader, the original language of each Creed is included in the Appendices along with the English translation. 140 "Endnotes" are given to support the references in the book. The book is prefaced by a chapter on "Human Certainty," which the philsophically oriented reader may find interesting. This is a day when the Christian Faith is being trivialized, distorted and profaned by a deviant secular world. It is hoped that this volume will offer a historical and intelligent base of reference and defense for the believer. For the unbeliever, perhaps the neglected hope of an eternal destiny will be revived. People without hope can begin to disregard the hopelessness of secular thought and begin to get an insight into their eternal destiny.
