I picked this book up at a thrift store at random & was blown away. The title drew me in but I didn't even know if the author was Christian - literally knew nothing about the book. I had never heard of Sayers & WHY. She's quickly become one of my favorite Christian thinkers! This book is so so worth the read. Short & thought- provoking. I've been passing it around to my family & friends!

Everything Sayers writes is amazing! This is a lovely, highly readable way to informally study the concept of Creed in Christianity.

Amazing and extremely relevant book of theology. It's both encouraging and depressing to realize that Western civilization was struggling with the exact same issues in the 1940s that we're dealing with today. Very easy to read and understand--possibly the least intimidating theology book I've ever encountered. A lot of the material overlaps with concepts discussed in "The Mind of the Maker" and "The Man Born to Be King", which can get repetitive, but also adds a nice level of coherence between her theological works. I don't agree with all her points in the discussion of sacramental work, and several of the same points are repeated in multiple essays, but otherwise it's a nearly flawless defense of orthodox Christianity in a hostile world.
