Book Description
This study describes the way in which the Creed, which originated centuries after the apostolic era, has been used in church history. Most of the emphasis is on the second purpose, evaluating the extent to which the components of the Creed are faithful to apostolic Christianity. It then discerns how the faith of the earliest Christians can be expressed in a brief and meaningful statement for the present day.
