Catholic Study Addresses ‘What Christians Believe’
In recent decades, antipathy toward faith and an increase in religious disaffiliation have produced a culture of spiritual illiteracy and unfamiliarity. To meet this crisis, Word on Fire and Bishop Robert Barron have produced two new resources that synthesize two thousand years of Christian teaching and practice. Centering on the foundation of the Church’s conciliar and magisterial teaching, “The Creed” film and study series and the “Light from Light: A Theological Reflection on the Nicene Creed” book will provide clear and compelling explanations about the nature of belief, the mystery of God, the life of the Church, and more.
In “The Creed,” which blends documentary conversations and dynamic talks, viewers are guided into the depths of the hallowed Nicene Creed, a fourth-century statement of faith that has profoundly influenced Christian spirituality, theology, and liturgy in both the East and West.
In “Light from Light,” Bishop Barron invites skeptics and seekers to explore the intellectual profundity of Catholicism, examining and explaining doctrinal and devotional principles for a new generation, especially those who have wandered away.
Both the video series and the new book will help viewers and readers rediscover the great sweep of sacred history, thereby reclaiming the unity, clarity, and conviction of the Christian faith. Both can be purchased at wordonfire.org/creed.
Word on Fire Catholic Ministries (wordonfire.org) exists to support the evangelization efforts of Bishop Robert Barron by drawing people into the Body of Christ, which is the Church, and thereby giving them access to all the gifts that Jesus wants his people to enjoy. To be most effective in this mission, Word on Fire places an emphasis and urgency on the use of contemporary forms of media and innovative communication technologies.
