Using the ancient text of the Apostles' Creed as a framework, Dinter offers a provocative and accessible exploration for those seeking to reflect on what it means to be a Christian believer in the twenty-first century. --Kevin Ahern, Manhattan College This I Believe is a sensationally refreshing approach to the New Testament, both accurate and personal, historical and contemporary. The reader finds himself in such capable hands, exploring the deeper meanings of the Christian Bible. --Thomas Cahill, author of Hinges of History At this time when social justice Catholicism is often under attack--even from some members of the episcopate--Paul Dinter's book is an important reminder that a faith that does justice is central not just to evangelization, but also to the very understanding of the Credo and of Christ's Paschal mystery. --Massimo Faggioli, Villanova University Faith communities have been vital in the efforts to implement restorative justice through education, arts programming, and musical programs. This I Believe demonstrates the critical connections between religious faith and justice efforts that I have continually witnessed in my own work. In over twenty years in the social justice field, one thing has always been clear: religious volunteers never give up on the people they serve. This important book shows how these worlds collide in lifesaving ways. --Sean Pica, executive director, Hudson Link for Higher Education in Prison
