The School of Charity: Meditations on the Christian Creed

The "Nicene Creed" is recited whenever Anglicans celebrate the Eucharist. It is an extraordinary piece of writing, dating from the fourth century, as the early fathers of the church struggled to define who Jesus was - within the context of monotheism. Underhill's book is a reflection on the Creed that constitutes a deep spiritual reflection of the three primary areas: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in the Nicene Creed and the Anglican Church, and it would make for a great addition to collections of related literature. Evelyn Underhill (1875 - 1941) was an English Anglo-Catholic writer, famous for her book on religion and spiritual practice. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
