In an Anglican worship service, there comes a point where we all declare a statement of faith. There are two formats of this statement of faith - the Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed. Have you ever wanted to more about the meaning behind these statements? Wondered what it means to have faith in God, to believe in God? Perhaps you have but aren't too interested in delving deep into the rabbit holes of theology and church history.
Tokens of Trust walks readers through the two creeds with care and compassion through the lens that "God is completely worthy of our trust." Divided into six parts, Williams discusses a different section of the creeds in each section. The language is easy to handle, so much so that I read it in a single night. For anyone who knows me, that is a feat!
Whether you are just starting out in exploring your Christian faith, or are a long-time Christian in need of a reminder of the meaning behind the creeds, I recommend that you read this book.
