Pakcer's goal is to bring us past simplistic "ABC" presentations of the gospel to one that includes realities like the Father's creative work, the believer's relationship to the church, and the work of the Holy Spirit, to name a few. Short, easily digestible chapters. The book had a great Introduction added (it was published originally as part of another book "Growing in Christ", also "I Want to Be a Christian", which included parts on the Ten Commandments and the Lord's Prayer), but could have stood the addition of a conclusion to wrap things up. In this short work, Packer offers a series of short teachings based on eighteen phrases found in the Apostles' Creed - a fifth century summary of Christian belief. The teachings are rather elementary, but useful. In all, I found Packer's introduction to the creed more helpful than his actual teaching on the actual text.

I wish he could have developed better such important points as the ‘communion of saints’, which barely gets a paragraph.
A note on a general tendence on Christian literature: lots of Biblical references, but few quotes. Instead, the book was fattened up with extracts from the text decorated in between paragraphs. The book would be more useful and easier to read if instead of these extracts all Biblical references were given with full text quotes. ( )
