"...this collection of essays and sermons is very much better than the usual run of things...The essays generally maintain a good standard of scholarly integrity...There is a great deal of food for thought in this volume, and people looking for something to do in Lent or in a teaching course in their church, would be well advised to take a look in this book for ideas. The Apostles' Creed has been brought back to life in its pages, and the presentation offered here is one which will stimulate and inspire any number of pastors and lay people looking for solid meat for their sermon diet." Gerald Bray, Churchman, Spring 2007

'It is hard to imagine the gospel more clearly, intelligently, and pointedly articulated than in these learned essays and sermons. Exploring and Proclaiming the Apostles' Creed offers a timely challenge to speak, hear, and obey the Word of God attested in Holy Scripture through appropriation and confession of the faith of the church catholic. This book is a "blessed disturbance" if ever there was one and a boon to catechesis and doctrinal preaching.'

Charles L. Bartow, Princeton Theological Seminary, Blurb from reviewer

'These comprehensive commentaries by great preachers on the Apostles' Creed offer a rich breadth of theological insight for sermons. William H. Willimon, Duke University Chapel Who says that doctrine won't preach? Here is grand, exalted Christian theology explored with creed and preached with vitality and conviction. A quite wonderful series of reflections on the great claims of our faith.' Henry H. Mitchell, author of Black Preaching

'These essays and sermons enrich and play off each other in a splendid way. The book reminds us that the best doctrinal preaching is also always biblical preaching, and that sermons can be didactic without being pedantic.' David Bartlett, Yale Divinity School  

Blurb from reviewer

"It is intended to revive the preaching of Christian doctrine by providing, first, an exposition of what to say and, then, an example of how to say it. To achieve this, the editor has assembled a most distinguished international team of thirty scholars and preachers...This is a substantial book which will amply repay some hard work, and which deserves to make a significant contribution to the revival of good preaching of Christian doctrine."
