Spiritual teacher and bridge-builder Brother David Steindl-Rast
translates the Apostles' Creed for today, uncovering the deeper
universal truths that can be an inspiration to all people.
In Deeper than Words: Living the Apostles' Creed, Brother David
reexamines the words with which the early followers of Jesus summarized
their faith. Reading line-by-line with an open perspective, he reveals
the often overlooked message of trust, compassion, peace, love, and
awareness contained in this widely known but rarely examined
statement.
Deeper than Words moves beyond ritual and exclusivity and instead
finds a deeper faith based in real human experience and the sense of
limitless belonging that is shared by all people who seek to understand
themselves and the world. The words of the Apostles' Creed are
Christian, but its heart is a universal and timeless guide to fullness
of life. From this transformation perspective, developed over a lifetime
of contemplation, Brother David presents a powerful call to renewal
through reconnection with the spiritual and a reawakening to shared
sacred truths.
