To the Reader:
This commentary aims to provide a basic grammar of Christian religious discourse. It proposes definitions, correlations, and guidelines that help us to read the Bible as a cosmic myth.
The Apostles Creed presents a vision that goes far beyond everything that we can describe scientifically. In the literary sense, the Creed presents the elements of an "extreme epic" that outruns the imagination of even our greatest poets: Dante, Goethe, Milton.
The Creed expresses the belief that God--the Creative Life Force driving all things--is Self-sacrificing Love.
Thius Self-sacrificing Love finds its concrete metaphor in the life, death, resurrection, and second coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
