Me encanta este libro, que explica en pocas páginas lo que significa el Credo para nuestras vidas como cristianos. Aún el autor aclara la teología con lenguaje muy fácil y acesible, la meta del libro no sólo es explicar el Credo como un contrato intelectual, sino como el simbolo y síntesis de toda la fe. Así siempre refiere a las implicaciones interpersonales, sociales y públicas, es decir que significa nuestra fe para la liurgia, la comunión, y la justicia y sociedad. Por este libro alcanzamos los altos de la filosfia cristiana y bajamos a la profunda humilidad de lo que quiere decir ser siervo de Dios. Lo recomiendo este libro a todos los católicos, les aseguro que va a enriquecer su fe.
