ABOUT THE COVER:
With the exception of the cross, the fish is credited with being the oldest symbol in Christendom. The Greek word for fish is IXOUS (pronounced ikthus). The early Christians turned it into an acrostic that worked out as follows:
I - IHSUS (Pronounced Yasoos) Jesus
X - XPISTOS ( Kristos) Christ
0 - OEOS ( Thee-os) God('s)
U - UIOS ( Wee-os) Son
S - SOTR ( So-tare) Savior
This was used as a code to identify Christians during the time of the Roman persecutions. However, instead of saying the Greek word, they usually drew a simple fish. Today it reminds us always of the words of Christ, "Blessed are they who are persecuted for
righteousness' sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven."
