Following the enormous success of Ponder These Things and The Dwelling of the Light here is the long awaited popular new book from the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Wonderful, thought-provoking phrases leap off each page and there is a characteristic depth of thoughtfulness that will reveal new dimensions each time this book is read.

Rowan Williams explores the great statements of belief as they are found in the Creed and weighs them up in relation to the challenges and complexities of life in the world today:

- God as maker of heaven and earth - can he be trusted?

- God as 'almighty' - what sense can we make of this in the face of natural disasters like the tsunami?

- Jesus as God's son - few people believed this during Jesus' lifetime; what changed everything?

- 'He was crucified under Pontius Pilate' - how do we understand good and evil today?

and more about how to read the Bible, what the Church should be like, death and resurrection.
