All Christians know what the Apostles' Creed says, but what does it mean? To a large extent, the meaning is colored by the situation of individual believers who speak and affirm the ancient confession. The meaning is perceived differently in different ages and by each person’s own struggles and hopes. In this book a theologian and a Christian lay woman reflect on the creed from their different perspectives. Both are citizens of the late 20 th century, and yet each finds nuances unique to his or her own life. Together they have spun a web of meaning where we can find reference points in our own search for understanding.
