Like most things we take for granted, the Catholic Creeds have an amazing story—actually a lot of stories.
What seems a simple prayer or statement of faith has a fascinating origin. And there is a reason it’s precisely worded the way it is and each word was fought over with great passion. It had to be worded just right.
The Catholic Faith: An Introduction to the Creeds takes a look at the struggles, the heresies, the truth, and the men who fought to hand it down to us. We will discuss important elements like these:
- Why is it called a Creed and how was it used in the early Church?
- Why do Christians have a formal statement of their beliefs when other world religions don’t?
- Are the words and concepts of the Creeds found in Scripture and if so, where?
- What is the one most crucial, fought over and non-biblical word in the Nicene Creed?
- What are the four important “marks” of the true Church that distinguish it from sects and denominations?
- What is the significance of the Creed’s emphasis on the bodily resurrection?
- Includes fascinating facts, historical development, arguments for defending the faith, a biblical summary and much more!
Knowing the story behind the creeds brings to life our fascinating history and beliefs. This book introduces the creeds as both a prayer and a personal commitment. Here you have the summary of Catholic doctrine in a nutshell, easy to read, memorize and practice.
