Scripture is the Word of God, and Christian creeds and confessions are the response of faith to God's revelation in Scripture. This understanding is vital to the correct relationship between creeds and the Bible and is the author's starting point in this informative exploration of a central and very early Christian creed.

Professor Franklin Ferreira offers a doctrinal and practical study of the Apostles' Creed that affirms the essential doctrines of the Christian faith. The creed is presented as a guide to lead Christians safely in their profession of faith and the Christian life, as well as a document that preserves a genuine Christian identity today.
