Outstanding Introduction to the Nicean-Constantinopolitan Creed

The book is little more than a transcript of Radio Liberty Broadcasts pumped into communist Russia during the Cold War. Fr. A. knew his audience: atheists, agnostics and those clinging to what remained of a brutally persecuted Christian Church. This book, while outlining and explaining the Creed --the common symbol of faith for all Christians-- begins with the question: what is belief? It is here that Fr. A shines with his simple and direct answers targetting his main audience. Highly recommended.
