What are the essentials of Christian belief? In the first three hundred years of the Church's existence, this question produced the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed - statements of belief which are still held in common by Christians today.Yet the creeds are not just checklists of beliefs - they show us who and what we can trust in this world, and offer us a glimpse of another. In Tokens of Trust, Rowan Williams looks at the implications of saying 'I believe' to the great claims of the creeds:- that God is almighty;- that he is the creator of heaven and earth;- that Jesus is the Son of God;- that he rose from the dead;- that there is one Church;- that there is life beyond death.

'Dr Williams, careful neither to put off the beginner with a forbidding demandingness nor to blunt the definitiveness of Christianity's description of the plight of the human race and the salvation it is offered, achieves a remarkable degress of success ... What follows, lucid, warm, never intimidating - a sea, as was long ago said of Christianity itself, shallow enough for children to paddle in, deep enough for the wise to swim in - could not have been written without, behind it, decades of theological and philosophical study ... The David Jones paintings reproduced in Tokens of Trust are subtle and beautiful ... a neat and nicely printed hardback, is a bargain.'
