There’s no doubt the Catholic faith is ancient. Can it also be vital and ever new?

Symbolon: The Faith of the Church presents the central teachings of the Catholic faith in their unity, beauty, and vitality. In the early Church, the Creed expressed these beliefs, identifying the Church’s faith and defining the identity of the Christians who professed it. This series sticks close to the Creed. It shows its inner logic, reveals the beauty of its teachings, and highlights the fruits it has brought into the world and continues to bear in the lives of those who profess it.

Sixteen episodes combine expert instruction, lived witness, and stunning cinematography to bring the ancient faith vividly into the contemporary world. Each episode weaves together Scripture, Tradition, history, and prayer. This tapestry of teaching is faithful to the Magisterium while remaining approachable and winsome. Viewers are taken on pilgrimage to locations across the globe to discover that the Church and her faith are alive and ever young. Some sites are grand; other, humble. Some distant, while others are familiar. But together, these locations remind us that the Sites both grand and humble, both distant and accessible, remind us that the extraordinary faith of the Church breaks into our ordinary lives, beckons us, and transforms us still today.

Symbolon echoes our Lord’s proclamation two thousand years ago, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Mt 4:17). It shows this proclamation still resounds and calls us today. It invites us to seek the face of God and to discover that, all along, he has been seeking us.

    Although I think this book is amazing and well written I do not think it has an easy to understand , user friendly progression or concept structure. For example - for a person who is learning about Catholicism it is challenging to understand what is meant with titles like “Born of the Virgin Mary “. In session six there are many concepts being covered , among them divine revelation, which is fundamental and worthy of its own session. . I know that you have attempted to present this material within the construct of the Nicean Creed but for a non catholic it has been difficult. I think this symbolon program is better suited for a person who is already Catholic with some understanding of church teachings. Perhaps it is for Catholics who want to further grow in their faith and understanding. I would also like to add although the blue ray dvd is beautiful it is not as engaging as the first/old symbolon and I do not like the fact that most of the presenters seldom look directly at the Camera. It is so obvious that they are Reading scripts. For some reason, not looking into the camera makes this seem very staged and impersonal. I never got that feeling while listening to Dr. Edward Sri And the various other presenters. It is a shame because the Blu-ray really does make the images, more vivid, and colorful. Please consider redoing the presentations and make them appear more engaged with the audience and more relaxed..
