Creed & Culture II

A Touchstone Reader: 1998–2011

— About —

Launched in 1986, Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity, has become a highly-respected forum for Protestant, Catholic, and orthodox Christians. it was founded to provide a place where Christians of various backgrounds can speak on the basis of shared beliefs in the fundamental doctrines of the faith as revealed in holy scripture and summarized in the ancient creeds of the Church.

To the confusion of voices in the world on matters of order in religious, social, and cultural life, Touchstone speaks with a unified voice of that which, manifest in creation and divine revelation, flows from the life of God himself.

This collection of eighteen articles published in Touchstone between 1998 and 2011 is our second anthology. The first anthology of Touchstone essays, Creed & Culture: A touchstone Reader, was published in 2003 by ISI Books, an imprint of the intercollegiate studies institute, Wilmington, delaware, and is available from the Fellowship of St. James (www.fsj.org).
