What’s a Christian, Anyway?: Finding Our Way in an Age of Confusion and Corruption
TLDR: “An odd systematic deconstruction of the Nicene Creed”
This is a book structured around dissecting the Nicene Creed, sentence by sentence. I feel like it should have been more explicit about that.
From the title, you might think that this is a book for neophytes – perhaps people new to the faith who are searching for answers. But it’s not that kinda book, and I think those people would come away frustrated.
This book literally breaks down the creed into sentence fragments, uses those to head chapters, and then discusses each one, its Biblical basis, and what it means for us.
Is this an effective summation of Christianity? The author absolutely things so. And maybe it is, but it just seems odd that the structure isn’t alluded to anywhere externally.
I get the feeling the author had a more appropriate title, and it was changed by the publisher at the last minute to sell more copies.
