Beschreibung (Langtext)

This book offers an unpacked version of the Nicene Creed, which is the defining statement of belief of mainstream Christianity, and a milestone in human history. The book seeks to clarify this compressed text through the common conceptual language of all people: “Basic Human”.  Given the unique power of this language to articulate the tenets of the Creed with clarity and precision, this book will have a wide readership among all people interested in Christianity, as well as among scholars interested in the scope of human understanding and communication. More than that, at a time of “post-Christian spiritual disintegration”, when  many are seeking for the threads of meaning to hold things together (as discussed for example by authors like Tom Holland and Ayaan Hirsi Ali),  the vision of the Nicene Creed - “the world’s one unchanging Creed” – can offer a new reference point and be a beacon of hope.
