Jan Milic Lochman is internationally respected as a convincing and powerful interpreter of theology for both Christians and Marxists. With this work he offers a contemporary and ecumenical statement of what Christians believe, based on the Apostles' Creed. He treats the creed not as an archaic document, but as a living witness, vitally relevant to today's intellectual and ecumenical scene. This existentially committed exposition of the basics of Christian faith will inform and challenge both clergy and laity - Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox - as few have done since the majestic 'Credo' of Karl Barth.

Jan Milic Lochman (1922-2004) was Professor of Systematic Theology and Rector at the University of Basel in Switzerland. He also taught in Eastern Europe, in Third-World countries, and at Union Theological Seminary in New York as well as other American institutions. His other books include 'Reconciliation and Liberation' and 'Encountering Marx'.
