APOSTLES CREED

Catalog description

The course begins with a catechetical review of the Apostles' Creed (R. Knox). After an historical note on the origin of the Apostles' Creed ( An Exposition of the Apostles' Creed , c. 1), some fundamental theological questions are addressed (Exposition, c. 2; J. Pelikan). Third, we proceed to extended commentary on the articles of the creed (Exposition, Ratzinger). Following that, we consider the special role of the first article of the creed for understanding the rest of it (Sokolowski), and conclude with a consideration of the act of faith. After Thanksgiving, there will be a word about the nature of theology.
