The Gospel and the Creed (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore how the Nicene Creed and the New Testament shape belief and church life.

This thoughtful study examines the Creed’s origins, its relation to Scripture, and how early church debates continue to inform faith and practice today. It questions common divides between the Bible and the Church, offering a careful look at how history, tradition, and interpretation intertwine. The book analyzes how the New Testament presents Jesus and the core Christian message, and why attempts to separate the historical Jesus from the Christus of the Church can miss the larger story. It emphasizes continuity of idea and inspiration across Scripture and the Christian community, and it situates these questions within a broader Anglo-Catholic perspective that respects both text and tradition.
