Rev Arthur Devine

The Ultimate Guide to Explaining and Defending the Catholic Faith Rev Arthur Devine

As Catholics, laity and religious alike are enjoined in supernatural charity, by which we live our Catholic faith, by which we have a living Catholic faith, to give testimony to the truth and preach the gospel. As a preamble to this divine mission, missionaries themselves must be informed about, formed by, the articles of Faith. In The Creed Explained, Rev. Arthur Devine supports each of the articles of the creed, along with a selection of conciliar and papal decrees, with the sources of Revelation and the solid authority and testimony of the Fathers and theologians of the Catholic Church. The profession of the Symbol of Faith is a most ancient sign of membership and allegiance to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of Christ. Suited especially for laity ready to equip the spiritual armament necessary to brace attacks upon the Catholic Faith by unbelievers and non-Catholics, the main tenets of the Faith are here expounded in lucid and concise diction, readily accessible to non-specialists in theology. This exposition follows an extensive treatment on the nature of Faith essential to proper Catholic catechesis. As St. Paul encourages: "take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand in all things perfect."
