At Oxford University in the 1970s, Alister McGrath faced a crisis when he realized that his scientific atheism made less sense of reality than the big picture offered by Christianity. A reluctant convert, he was astonished by the delight he found in exploring a previously unknown world of ideas. Crucial to his understanding have been the Christian Creeds, which he regards as maps to the landscape of faith. His hope in this volume is that we too may grasp comprehensively the treasure to which they point: the living God, who is the ground of our existence; Jesus Christ who journeys with us; the Holy Spirit who offers us reassurance and affirmation on the way. Drawing on the theology of popular writers like C. S. Lewis, G. K. Chesterton and Dorothy L. Sayers, and full of stories and illustrations, this vivid portrayal of the imaginative power and vision of Christianity will prove invaluable to clergy, church leaders, theological students and all who long to expand their understanding and love of God.

Alister McGrath invariably combines enormous scholarship with an accessible and engaging style. -- Rowan Williams, Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge [On the author's CHRISTIAN BELIEF FOR EVERYONE SERIES] Highly recommended * Church of England Newspaper * Again and again, Alister McGrath elegantly performs that central task of any teacher: to enable his students and readers, starting from the familiar ground of what they already know, to go on to explore new territory, and begin to see an expanded horizon. * Church Times * McGrath writes with style and conviction, and wears his learning lightly in his ability to draw upon a wide variety of sources in the formation of his argument. * New Directions * McGrath's ability to translate often complex theological matters into contemporary prose for a popular audience once again shines through, with an immensely readable style that captivates readers from the opening pages. * Life and Work * Written with academic rigour, but in a form which assumes no prior knowledge, [it] does what it says on the cover and enables an exploration of Christian belief for everyone. * Methodist Recorder *
