CONTENT DESCRIPTION
H.E. Shenouda III provides an explanation of the Creed, "the essence of the Christian faith". It reflects on various dogmas and concepts within the Creed, including Trinitarianism, the incarnation and redemption, baptism, and the resurrection.

GENERAL COMMENTS
The author, Pope Shenouda III, mentions in his introduction that the book shall be used for teaching and training in the Seminary throughout Egypt and abroad, as well as in Sunday schools and Youth meetings. Shenouda's explanation of the Creed serves not only as an educational reference, but also as a frame for asserting the definitions of "the true Christian belief," shared by all Christians. In this line, those who do not follow this Creed cannot be deemed Christians, such as Jehovah Witnesses and Sabbatherians. This is a translation from English, which was in turn translated from Arabic (original title: قانون الإيمان - "The Creed").
