The Importance of Creeds and Confessions in Contemporary Christianity
This chapter explores the major challenges to biblical Christian anthropology and discusses the need for individuals to reacquaint themselves with comprehensive statements of faith from the past. It emphasizes the value of both modern thinking and historical documents, and delves into the rationale behind protecting biblical sufficiency and the focus on creeds and confessions as a response to the culture of expressive individualism. The significance of creedal statements in defining objective truths separate from personal feelings is also discussed, along with the origins, development, and significance of the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed.
