"""An outstanding achievement. Centuries of thought and vision, of strenuous debate and complex argument, are here distilled in a language of bell-like clarity. For those among our contemporaries who reject the faith, or for those among us who only half understand it, this study of the Creed is so wonderfully insightful, and so telling in its authority and freshness, it may well in time be regarded as a classic. Intellectually rigorous it certainly is, but it has not got a dull page.""--Paul Murray, OP ""Familiarity breeds contempt! Familiar we are indeed with the Nicene Creed, as we rattle through it at every Sunday Mass. Bishop Barron, with his attractive blend of depth and ease, helps us pray it again for the first time, realizing the dramatic and radical claims we profess!""--Timothy Cardinal Dolan ""The elements of the Creed are the grammar of our faith; without them we are theologically rudderless. Bishop Barron presents these essential theological building stones in a manner that is both intellectually rich and spiritually inspiring. There is no legalistic treatment, no dry presentation of dogmas, but an unveiling of each 'gemstone' in the collection with literary finesse and insights dredged from the whole two-thousand-year-old treasury of Catholic scholarship and tradition.""--Tracey Rowland"
