Nauroth has been able, in just 200 pages, to skim church history for a narrative that helps Christians understand who we are -- and Whose we are. The difference in that narrative is absolutely essential in a world only too willing to tell Christians those things. And in a world where Christians don't know how to distinguish the difference between what we believe and the power that has to shape how we are in the world, the creed is not simply a set of philosophical or theological precepts. It's a powerful statement that shapes how we see God's interaction with the world and with us.
In short, the creed, for Nauroth, is a spiritual statement of trust.
That's what makes Nauroth's Power of the Creed so refreshing. And a must-read for pastors and those who care about what we see in the world of God's work and what God sees in us.
