He also examines the influence of the creed on later Christian theologians and thinkers.The second part of the book explores the relevance of the Athanasian Creed in modern Christian thought. Gorman argues that the creed provides a framework for understanding the nature of God and the relationship between God and humanity. He also discusses the creed's implications for contemporary debates in theology, such as the problem of evil and the role of the church in society.Overall, The Athanasian Creed and Modern Thought is a thought-provoking and insightful book that will be of interest to scholars and students of theology, as well as anyone interested in exploring the intersection of ancient Christian doctrine and modern thought.1870. An attempt has been made in these pages to render the symbol of the Christian faith, called after the name of Athanasius, in some degree more intelligible and practical as a form of doctrine, by placing in as clear a light as possible what appears to be its genuine meaning and purport, and by directing special attention to what may be said to be its one cardinal principle, expressed in these words: As the reasonable soul and flesh is one man, so God and man is one Christ.
