About this work

Description

The author organizes his inquiry around the Nicene Creed, an early statement that continues to summarize Christian beliefs. He then asks, "What is the evidence that makes you think this might be true?" The evidence includes the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, scientific theories, and human self-consciousness as revealed in literary, philosophical, and psychological works.
