{"product_id":"credo-the-apostles-creed-explained-for-today","title":"Credo: The Apostles Creed Explained for Today","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this small, lucid gem of a book, the controversial Swiss theologian Hans Kung offers his thoughtful explanation of what the ancient profession of Christian faith can mean for us today. In doing so, Kung also flings a challenging response to the new Catechism of the Catholic Church, for Credo is a fresh answer to the conservative stance of todays Vatican  a salvo that cannot be ignored. While controversy inevitably surrounds all of Kungs books, Credo is his most accessible and straightforward work to date, written simply for all readers. It is the summation of a lifetime of theological thought by one of Christianitys most profound and original thinkers  a book that reaches out to nonCatholic Christians, as well as to Jews, Moslems, and those of the Eastern religions, and that gives everyone the dignity he or she deserves. Kung asks the big questions: Can we still believe in God? In the Virgin birth? In the divinity of Jesus? In his resurrection? In eternal life? And Kung also asks many unusual questions: Did Auschwitz disprove the existence in God? Is there any real difference between Jesus and the Buddha? Is resurrection from the dead unJewish? Must the Church be undemocratic?The answers he gives are, as always, profound and unexpected. This is not a book just for Catholics or even just for Christians, but a book for anyone with an interest in how religion can be integrated into contemporary life. Here is a great modern intellect  at his most reader friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Kung, Hans \/ paperback","offer_id":47846555418869,"sku":"SONG1592443451","price":30.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/61Mfx5VSO2L.jpg?v=1773834443","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/credo-the-apostles-creed-explained-for-today","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
