Listen to theologian Jaroslav Pelikan on NPR’s Speaking of Faith: http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/2009/pelikan/index.shtml

For many modern Americans, the very idea of reciting an unchanging creed, composed centuries ago, is troublesome. But, Jaroslav Pelikan, who died in 2006, was a scholar who devoted his life to exploring the vitality of ancient theology and creeds. He insisted that even modern pluralists need strong statements of belief.

Dr. Pelikan was a great scholar of church history — one of his first major works was the translation of the entire Collected Works of Martin Luther in English. Late in life, he converted to Eastern Orthodoxy.

There is another interview with him posted here: http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/pelikan/
