This short book contains three essays that relate to the Nicene Creed: one each from a Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox perspective. The Protestant essay contains useful information: it gives a rundown on which church denominations and movements accept the Nicene Creed and why. I found both the Catholic essay by Cattoi and the Orthodox essay by Fortuin to be inscrutable. They are academic theological works that I don't have the background academic knowledge to even begin to decipher.
The book contains:
- Frank John Papatheofanis: Introduction to the Nicene Creed
- Julius (Rex) Gurney III: Protestantism and the Nicene Creed
- Thomas Cattoi: Why Nicaea? Classical Trinitarian Theology and the Development of New Doctrinal Formulas
- Robert F. Fortuin: Divine Mercy as "Immanent Transcendence" According to Nicean Metaphysics
