The Nicene Creed was formed in AD 381 under the Roman Emperor Constantine and is is a statement of belief accepted by many Christians around the world from Eastern Orthodox Churches, Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, Calvinists and many other groups. It has been an accepted statement for hundreds of years. Often only found in church service and prayer books, it has been boldly illustrated by Pauline Baynes in this lovely edition.

 Without altering any of the words, Pauline Baynes has given the Nicene Creed a bright, joyful and uplifting illustration. It now resembles an illuminated manuscript with stunningly illustrated borders around different phrases showing images of the sun, moon and stars as well as creatures great and small, mythical beasts, death and resurrection, judgement and everlasting life.

This edition is a spirited affirmation of faith.It is certain to delight and inspire readers. It also contains a brief history and explanation of the creed.
