Reseña del libro "Building a Firm Foundation: A 12 Week Study on the Apostles' Creed (en Inglés)"
The organization of The Apostles' Creed is based on the concept of the Trinity. Thus, the creed has three main sections: the Father (in Deum Patrem), the Son (in Jesum Christum), the Holy Spirit (in Spiritum Sanctum). The bulk of the creed is taken up in the middle section, dealing with the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The bulk of the lessons are questions with answers given. Most questions have Scripture references and some make direct reference to the Heidelberg Catechism. For discussion in a group setting, the intent is to read the question and examine the references. Then the group can begin to answer the question, with the leader using the "Answer" material to spur or facilitate discussion as necessary. In this way the material can be worked through much like a catechism would be.I am very grateful for this treatment by Rick Brannan. He is faithful to the concise and memorable content of the Apostles' Creed while expositing its meaning. He addresses the depth of the creed through an easily-digestible question-and-answer format. He gives us further riches in showing the interaction of the Heidelberg Catechism, itself a treasure of historical teaching of the faith, with the Apostles' Creed.May you enjoy again the Apostles' Creed, in its history and depths. May you treasure forever the truths it contains, of a Savior who was crucified, dead and buried, yet rose again from the dead, and provides forgiveness of sins and resurrection to all who put their faith in him.- Dax Swanson, Pastor, Grace Church Bellingham
