A wealth of information from a critical but appreciative perspective.......2006-02-05
First, the other reviewer decided to pan the book based on the book using the terms BCE/CE rather than BC/AD in order to be more accessible in places to readers who are not Christian. Let that narrow-mindedness speak for the review.
The book is a veritable wealth of information on Scripture and Christian history from a decidedly Catholic perspective. Each chapter is written by a national scholar in the field, with an eye to material being useful for entry level college students. Many of the chapters are engaging, replete with maps and art, and all are information rich. Anyone wanting a good introduction to the story of the God's interaction with the world from a Catholic Christian perspective will appreciate this book. I've taught with it many times and it has always been well-appreciated.
Their "Christian Theology" is 'ashamed of Christ'.......2005-11-18
...and what kind of 'Christian' theology is that? BCE? CE? Gosh, don't let's go and stir up controversy by engaging in the global convention of BC/AD, you know, that 'Christ' and 'year of Our Lord' stuff, especially not in a mandatory introduction to _Christian_ theology written by, one hopes, ostensible Christians for students who are not exactly being forced to attend an ostensibly Christian college.
If you teachers of Christian theology are ashamed of the whole Christ thing, then switch to sociology. For Christ's sake, eh? Do Jews shy away from saying that Jesus was not the Messiah, or Muslims from claiming that Jesus was (but) a prophet and not the Son of God?
Why then must professional Christians, paid to teach Christianity, at a Christian school, shrink away from the most fundamental claim of Christianity, i.e. that Jesus is the Christ who so changed the world that time is divided into an 'after' and a 'Before' Christ?

Impeccable Scholarsip and Eminently Readable.......2006-11-18
Teaser: If you belong to either of the two largest Christian bodies, Roman or Orthodox, you stand and recite the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed every Sunday, saying "I believe in One God, the Father Almighty..."
Yet, these two ancient bodies schismed over the addition of just two words to this creed and Christians have never again been a united church.
This alone should give anyone interested in Christian history sufficient reason to read an excellent book about Creeds.
Content: CREDO is a comprehensive yet very accessible history of creeds in Christianity, their role, the struggles, and the need for them. Origins, conflicts, and evolution are all well-addressed.
Level: You can read and enjoy this book, and learn much, regardless of whether you are just exploring what it means when you say "I believe," are up to wondering what the origins of the Apostles' Creed and Nicene Creed are, or are interested in the subtle nuances of theology behind the filioque clause.
What Creed does your church use? Where did it come from? What is the difference between a statement of belief and a profession of faith? CREDO explains all of this and so much more, and does it clearly and completely.
Well-worth buying! A must for any Christian's library!
Extra Details about the Author: As many have noted, Dr. Pelikan was a professor of Christianity at Yale and an ordained Lutheran minister. He was the leading Christian historian of the 20th century. His books on Luther and Lutheran doctrine and history, written in the 60's, remain touchstones on the topic.
Less known, is that Dr. Pelikan, who fell asleep in the Lord in 2005, retired from the Ministry and Yale and left the Lutheran Church. Being an exemplary man, he never uttered any commentary, nor did he trumpet his own conversion, but he was chrismated into the Orthodox Christian Church a full decade before he died. His scholarship led him there, yet he never let this bias his later works. He went on to a late career as Dean of Theology at St. Vladimir's Seminary.
Highly Recommended.......2006-07-05
This is a must read for any who are Christians or who are interested in the Christian scriptures. It is clear, readable and succinct. If you read your Bible you should know its history.
You don't have to be a scholar to appreciate this book.......2004-06-11
If you have an interest in how we got our definitions of faith in Christianity, you would be well served to read this book. It is not a "story" per se, however, and it will only give you an overview of the process as it has occurred over the centuries. Also, Pelikan is VERY academic in his language and presentation, so you might get a little lost from time to time among his lists and examples. However, if you can stick with it, he drives his points home with precision, and rarely is an issue raised with just a single example or reference, so you will get the gist of what he's saying, even if you can't follow everything.
I came away from this work marveling at the surprising UNITY of the very diverse (on the surface anyway) orthodox Christian faith through the centuries, and feeling that it was very hard not to see the hand of God in it. Pelikan knows this subject like (I imagine) no one ever has. He speaks from an authority that is remarkably.
Seeing is believing..........2004-01-12
Credo: I believe...
With these words, Christians around the globe and across the millennia have on a regular basis begun their regular recitation of faith. Christianity has been from very early days a faith that has laid heavy emphasis on orthodoxy (right belief) apart from (but not always separate from) orthopraxy (right action) - indeed, Christianity has always hoped that right belief leads to right action, but it has put the focus upon right belief as the foundation.
Jaroslav Pelikan, emeritus professor of History at Yale has written extensively on the history of Christendom, specialising in many of these texts on the history of Christian belief (his masterful five-volume series on this topic is still a standard). Honoured with degrees, awards, and even a post at the Library of Congress, there are few in the same league as Pelikan when it comes to developing the history of Christian thought. This particular volume, 'Credo', is both a stand-alone volume of the basic history of development of the creeds or belief structures of the major strands of Christianity, and also serves as an introductory volume in the larger work 'Creeds and Confessions of Faith in the Christian Tradition', a series most likely to find a home in major libraries, but rarely in individuals' homes, save the most serious of scholars. That is not a problem with this volume, however; as it should find a place of honour in the libraries of Christians Catholic, Orthodox or Protestant.
Pelikan, an ecumenically minded scholar but decidedly orthodox Christian, gives an admirably fair overview of the traditions presented here, striving as best he can to preserve the terminology of each tradition as each defines itself. This can be confusing at at times, as Pelikan notes; every tradition sees itself in terms of being orthodox, evangelistic, catholic, and reformed in differing ways against differing social and historical contexts.
The narrative essays comprise four major sections: Definitions of Creed and Confession; The Genesis of Creeds and Confessions; The Authority of Creeds and Confessions; The History of Creeds and Confessions. Much hinges on the definitions employed when talking about creeds and confessions - churches are sometimes defined by these or over against these, but as Pelikan states, these are more easily described than defined. Pelikan spends a good deal of time showing the different kinds of formulae and statements of faith, how there is both continuity and change in their development across the many strands of Christian expression, and what exactly creeds and confessions are meant to do and not do. In exploring the creation of creeds and confessions, Pelikan starts with scripture, but quickly moves on to the other influences; the number of Christians over time who have maintained an exclusively-scriptural creedal or confessional basis is vanishingly small. In this confusing field, Pelikan lays out very clear paths. Similar confusion occurs in looking at the issue of authority, which brings up another difficult issue in interpretation - the interpretation of creeds and confessions can be as difficult and varied as biblical interpretation. All of these set a strong contextual stage for examining history-proper of the creeds, stepping from the early church to the Eastern Orthodox formulation, to the Medieval West, to the Reformation Ear, and finally to statements of faith in the modern Christianity.
There are three other major sections: first, an extensive bibliography with up-to-date titles in the area of Christian history and the creeds; second, indexes to the other volumes of the 'Creeds and Confessions of Faith in the Christian Tradition'; and third, several indexes to the present volume, including indexes to scripture, to various creeds and confessions, and to persons mentioned in the text. The indexes are generally good, but there are minor issues that could make the volume more handy (for example, the index on creeds is done by abbreviation; these abbreviations are found at the beginning of the book, and could be repeated here for ease of use, or at the very least, the page number of the abbreviations could be listed). The majority of Pelikan's references are in English and English-translation, on the assumption that scholars can draw from these the original language references more readily than non-scholars could draw from original language; however, again given the scope this work, perhaps a few extra pages could have been incorporated to permit these references as well. These are small issues in an otherwise magnificent research resource.
There are indeed many works on creeds, confessions and the development of Christian profession (as distinct from Christian theology or Christian history proper); there are smaller volumes that cover the same material, but this volume takes advantage of the latest scholarship, and the vast encyclopedic knowledge of Pelikan and his team of scholars, including among the many contributors Valerie Hotchkiss (co-editor of the other volumes in the series) and Bishop Kalistos Ware.
Pelikan's work on creeds and confessions began in earnest with his doctoral dissertation in 1946, nearly 60 years ago; he has spent as long a professional life in this field as it is almost physically possible for anyone to do. This work may not be the capstone on his career, but it is certainly a worthy standard in its own right, and should serve as a major touchstone for years to come.
"I believe in One God...".......2003-09-26
If the words of my title ring a bell, then I assume that you have been saying the main creed of orthodox Christianity for some time. But what you may not know is the fascinating history behind the creed. Whole empires were torn apart in its development over "one iota" about who Christ is, lone theologians fought "contra mundi" for the truth, and political intrigue weighed heavy upon bishops and kings. After Nicea II, several other ecumenical councils were required to delineate the ground upon which theology could be built in reaction to the various challenges both philosophical and cultural that were presented to the faith's expression. Serving as a floor rather than a limiting ceiling, the creeds and the dogmas serve the Church as a sort of map by which we may travel in our faith without getting too lost in the byways of bizarre speculation or individualism.
Before I actually looked at the book, I thought that it would either be a slim volume of original work, owing to Pelikan's age and seemingly fast publishing schedule, or a large tome of primary sources with his insightful notes adding commentary. Oh how I was wrong on my first count! This book weighs in at a hefty 600+ pages and is chuck full of his elegant and scholarly prose. It is not so intellectually lofty that the novice would be intimidated, but perhaps works such as Kelly's "Early Christian Creeds" or Leo Davis' "The First Seven Ecumenical Councils" would serve as good companions. There is always that other fine work, "Beginning to Read the Creeds".
Pelikan is truly the master historian of doctrinal development, and the whole notion of creed is intimately bound to that development. He touches upon the perennial themes concerning the validity of the creeds both then and now, the meaning of an ecumenical council, the notion of tradition as the vivifying role of the Holy Spirit in the Church, and the interrelation between scripture and dogma. Orthodox, Roman Catholics and Protestants of all varieties would do well to sit at the feet of Pelikan and reconsider and reflect upon their own notions of the foundation of the faith- the natures and person of Christ and his Bride. We do not always follow the premises of our faith to their logical and historical conclusions.
If you are interested in creeds, you may also enjoy Pelikan's five volume set on the development of doctrine, along with his slim "The Vindication of Tradition". One author that I continually reference is Georges Florovsky. He had a firm grasp on the primary sources and spirit of early Christianity and served as one of Pelikan's mentors. His, "Bible, Church and Tradition" is very relevant to the whole notion of doctrinal development and creedal consensus. Of course there are tons of other great books, but those are quite useful in orienting your mind to the historical process involved in formulating eternal truths. Enjoy!

Strongly recommended to all readers in practice of the Christian faith.......2006-05-03
Theological Bio-Ethics: Participation, Justice, And Change by Lisa Sowle Cahill (J. Donald Monan Professor of Theology at Boston College and former President of the Society of Christian Ethics and Catholic Theological Society of America) is an in-depth introductory study of the bio-ethical practice of Christian-Catholic students or practitioners of the biological sciences, and the ethical approaches to employ within the context of such controversial issues. Readers will discover a progressive understanding of generally con-temporary constructs of Christian understandings on the social conditions, individualistic, and scientific progression that form public perspective of bio-ethics and the modern pursuit of a greater scientific understanding of the truths that define life. Theological Bio-Ethics is very strongly recommended to all readers in practice of the Christian faith for its informative content on important modern and subversive sciences and progression.

Jesus Humanity, and the Trinity: A Brief Systematic Theology
ASIN: 0813335035 |
Book Description
In Waiting for Godot in Sarajevo, David Toole seeks to come to terms with what it means to live a life of dignity in a world of undeniable suffering. Using as his backdrop Susan Sontag's staging of Act I of Waiting for Godot in war-torn Sarajevo, Toole skillfully weaves together Friedrich Nietzsche's views on nihilism with Michel Foucault's analysis of power to produce a politics of tragedy, or what Toole calls a "politics of dying." Such politics are then used to shed new theological light on the Christian apocalypse and what it means to be alive at the end of the twentieth century. In making his argument, Toole draws innovative connections between such diverse figures as John Milbank, Alasdair MacIntyre, Euripides, John Howard Yoder, and Norman Maclean (author of A River Runs Through It and Young Men and Fire), all the while using Beckett's play as a compass for his direction. The end result is a fascinating, eminently readable, unexpectedly adventurous theological inquiry into the meaning of life.

Toole's writing is both clear and illuminating........2000-07-29
This is not a book for those who want to live a comfortable life, avoiding sorrow and despair at all costs. It is instead a moving work intended for readers who have either experienced the suffering in this fractured world or who are compelled to know more in general about the human condition.
In Waiting for Godot in Sarajevo David Toole portrays a world fraught with endless and often escalating conflicts, a world pregnant with pain and death. He seeks to answer the pensive questions: How do we come to grips with the endless suffering in this world? How can we live a good life in the face of suffering Toole answers by telling us that, in today's world, we are confronted with three alternatives from which we can choose: despair (nihilism), tragic resignation (fatalism) or hope (apocalyptic faith).
The opening chapter of this book is set in 1993 Sarajevo, Bosnia, at the height of the slaughter and carnage. Taking place is the stage performance of Samuel Beckett's play "Waiting for Godot." Susan Sontag directs this work during a time when Sarajevo was both battlefield and concentration camp. "Waiting for Godot" is a powerful play that depicts tragic politics, the art of suffering, dying and, of course, the eternal waiting that accompanies suffering. Godot, for whom the cast waits, represents hope, a potential redeemer.
In Toole's words, "I began in Sarajevo and that Sarajevo both is and metaphorically represents a world of suffering." This suffering is simply another instance of the unfolding in nihilism that Nietzsche declared would be the distinguishing mark of both the 20th and 21st centuries - Sarajevo depicts for us the despair of radical nihilism."
Make no mistake, this is not a summer-day-at-the-beach read as the text is complex and challenging. Toole deals with the philosophy of great minds and thinkers such as the following: Fredrick Nietzsche, Martin Heideggar, Michael Gillespie, John Milbank, John H. Yoder and Michael Foucault. However, do not despair, Toole's writing is both clear and illuminating. He has done us a valuable service as he spurns today's doomsayers who proclaim "this world is a world with no bounds, no constraints and a world run amok." He challenges us to believe in a life that has meaning, dignity and God's presence. Recommended

A must-read book on Christianity and the 20th Century........1998-12-11
David Toole's book is an outstanding contribution to a world struggling to reconcile the fundamental tenets of Christianity with a modernized (some would say post-modernized) materialist, and secular world. Indeed, for all our church going etc., we are a society that will not think twice about desecrating creation to put up yet another strip-mall.
What Toole's book so clearly and so provacatively demonstrates is the philosophical underpinnings that have lead to our more dominant and invisible ideologies. Rather than trotting out a history of philosophical thought and putting a bunch of dead white guys through their paces, Toole deftly organizes his discussion thematically, bringing together brilliant historical/cultural analysis with modern philosophical thought and theological insight. In the process, Toole has written what is perhaps the most nuanced--and clear-- presentation of Nietzsche in the English language. Most scholars would give their arm to have accomplished that. Toole goes even further. In linking together philosophy, history, and theology, Toole provides an insiteful, and downright stunning analysis of our contemporary "global society".
Not since Ched Meyer's "Binding the Strongman" has there been such bold undertaking to resituate christianity's profound political dimensions with how we live and think--it should be on the bookshelf of every activist-christian who is concerned about the world and taking a moral position in it.
The only thing confusing about this book is why it is not getting enormous readership. Although Nietzshe, Foucault, and Beckett do not exactly make for light reading, Toole's clarity and poetic vision make this an enormously accessible and engaging read. This is the book that the New Yorker crowd should be discussing as a way out of dead-end secularism and materialism. Reviewing it in under 1,000 words is almost impossible. It cannot be discussed enough.
Book Description
This book attempts to understand Calvin in his 16th-century context, with attention to continuities and discontinuities between his thought and that of his predecessors, contemporaries, and successors. Muller pays particular attention to the interplay between theological and philosophical themes common to Calvin and the medieval doctors, and to developments in rhetoric and method associated with humanism.

R. Muller, A Phenom.......2005-07-19
I am not a seminarian. I hardly have a knowledge of the reformers' lives and works. I'm a US history student. However, I'm interested in the Reformation and Post-Reformation period. I chose Muller's book to help me understand Calvin and his work (the Institutes, I'm reading through them). More than this, I chose this book because Muller wrote it. And I'm glad I read it. Muller is a historical theologian who stands heads and shoulders above most historians in any field, including that which he specializes in. His ability to analyze pertinent material is incredible. You'd also think he's read everything written in the sixteenth century. He does such an amazing job presenting his theses, and then forcefully making his conclusions.
To say something about the text for readers: he shows how we must understand the historical context of Calvin and his Institutes in order to properly understand Calvin and his Institutes. He does this by comparing Calvin and his Institutes to reformers contemporary to him.
Sorry I can't say more. I'm not going to sit here and give a book report. I will put it simply: get the book if you dare. A warning: this is heavy reading. It is also reading that greatly rewards its readers, I mean deeply. Muller is a phenomenon. He truly presents an unaccommodated Calvin, i.e. Calvin on his own terms.
Reading Calvin for the First Time.......2000-04-26
By writing this book Richard Muller has done a wonderful service, both for serious students of Calvin as well as the casual reader who has the slightest interest in the Reformer's thought. Muller presents Calvin's thought in its own context, demonstrating in the process how often his writings have been misconstrued by modern scholars asking modern questions of texts that were written over four hundred years ago.
One of the keys to Muller's work is his use of original documents, whereby he unfolds the relationship between the various genres in Calvin's body of works. He shows that Calvin's magnum opus, The Institutes of the Christian Religion, serves a limited purpose in his corpus, and must be carefully read in the context of both his sermons and his biblical commentaries. This insight alone clears away generations of false conclusions, and reveals details that other scholars have failed to note. Further, Muller provides important insights into the development and structure of The Institutes.
This book is a must-read for anyone who seeks to understand Calvin. It is also a model for how documents from earlier ages of church history ought to be read and studied. No serious student of church history should be without it.
Book Description
Not so long ago it would have been fair to say that Christian faith played a leading role in cultural life. Today, however, culture has become largely "detraditionalized"; the impact of faith on society is minimal at best. This insightful book looks at the chasm that has opened up between faith and culture and exhorts Christians to reengage society in meaningful ways.
According to Lieven Boeve, every new age challenges the Christian tradition to recontextualize its presentation of meaning and purpose. Today's postmodern world may be an especially difficult setting for faith, yet it too affords Christians many opportunities for dialogue. In the first part of the book Boeve provides a pithy description of the vicissitudes of the Christian tradition in modernity and postmodernity. The second part of the book uses this background to equip Christians to reflect on their faith in a credible and relevant manner without withdrawing from the contemporary world.

Book Description
The wholesale rejection of metaphysics today has become the test of the postmodern. In this groundbreaking volume Oliver Davies argues for a renewal of metaphysics, as the language of createdness, based not in a return to outmoded concepts of essence but in a dynamic new understanding of ontology as narrative and performance. This repairing of the Western metaphysical tradition is grounded both in the divine self-naming in Exodus — which, for the rabbis, identified God's presence in the world with God's compassionate acts — and in the compassionate resistance of Etty Hillesum and Edith Stein to the violence of the Holocaust. Building on a new metaphysics of compassion that is attentive to the histories of the contemporary world, Davies offers a renewed systematic theology of divine speech and relation, focused in Jesus Christ, who, as the triadic "Word" of God, speaks creatively at the heart of human culture and action and who, as the redeeming "Compassion" of God, regenerates the world.
