The Creed

What do Christians actually believe? In an age of theological confusion and ecclesiastical division, the ancient creeds offer both anchor and compass. But do these historic confessions faithfully reflect Scripture? Where did the church preserve apostolic truth, and where did it add human traditions? THE CREED: PATH TO UNITY is a comprehensive textbook examining Christian confession from the New Testament to the present day. Theologian Arthur Tiger guides readers through the development of the great ecumenical creeds, evaluating each from a conservative biblical perspective.
