During his comments on the Creed, John Paul II explained the content of faith in Jesus Christ. In seven successive audiences, the Holy Father addresses the miracles of Jesus and their role in the history of salvation. During the catechesis, theological aspects of miracles are explored, their value in salvation, and the aspects that concern the relationship between faith and reason.

In these audiences, before dealing with the faith article “Believe in God Almighty,” John Paul II presents three speeches dedicated to the notion of God in the context of contemporary thought. The speeches touch on topics of “honesty of intelligence,” the traditional “ways” on the existence of God, and the attitude of scientists towards God.
