This fifth and final volume in the Ancient Christian Doctrines series explains the final clauses of the Nicene Creed outlining commonly held beliefs and doctrines within the church from Christianity's earliest and most influential thinkers. Here, Angelo Di Berardino assembles a wide range of texts and teachers to help enrich our understanding on the meaning of 'one holy catholic and apostolic' as spoken from the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed. In addition, Di Berardino offers a final commentary on the sacrament of baptism along with the church's expectation of 'the resurrection of the dead' and 'the life of the world to come' as concluded in the Creed. A solid and trustworthy resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of the doctrines formulated during the early church period. Slightly Imperfect.
