What can Christians believe today, almost exactly five hundred years after the Reformation? This book provides an answer by focusing on the Apostles= Creed - in a way that is generally comprehensible, inspiring and stimulating. This interpretation of the Creed also represents an interpretation of the contemporary world and an engagement with predominant scientific worldviews and views of humanity. Ralf Frisch takes the view that the Christian faith represents a fascinating and reasonable alternative in the midst of today=s forgetfulness of God in Western culture. However, in order to express this faith convincingly, one needs to be prepared to think differently and see the world differently. If one can do this, then the encounter with the Creed can provide answers to the question of meaning that will turn existence in a disenchanted world into a metaphysical adventure once again.

Prof. Ralf Frisch teaches systematic theology and philosophy at the Protestant University of Nuremberg. He is a Theological Consultant to the State Synod of the Lutheran Church in Bavaria.
