Frances Young demonstrates how and why the two most familiar Christian creeds - the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed - came into being. She describes how creeds originated in instruction before baptism and have their roots in the New Testament itself. She then shows how the rise of Gnosticism and a tendency towards fragmentation in the church made a clear statement of faith necessary; outlines the various controversies that led to particular words and phrases being included in the creeds as we now have them; and describes the construction of the great Christian doctrines of the Trinity and Incarnation. This is a book that enables the creeds to come alive again, in the challenging and demanding contexts of contemporary life, and provides a reliable guide to the core of Christian confession and affirmation.
Industry Reviews
'An excellent, short, accessible introduction to the formation of classical Christianity....the sort of book that theological educators long for and which intelligent and thoughtful students of all kinds deserve.' Church Times
