Creed and Personal Identity

By David Baily Harned

Book Overview

In eight chapters, David Harned explores the theology of the Apostles' Creed, taking the position that the creed, in fact, provides us with a master image for self-understanding, and that controlling image is ""child of God."" The creed is seen as being important for personality formation and the development of ""character,"" rather than as either a statement of beliefs or a loyalty oath. Harned's ninth and final chapter is intended for those who wish to pursue further the question of master imagery for the formation of a Christian Sense of Identity.
