Overview:
It's hard to overstate the importance of the Apostles' Creed. No, the Creed is not above the Scriptures or even equal to the Scriptures. However, the Creed is an ancient summary of what Christians of all ages have believed about what the Scriptures teach.
"The Apostles' Creed collapses time and space, uniting all true believers in the one, holy, and apostolic faith. This creed is a summary of what the Bible teaches, a narrative of God's redemptive love, and a concise statement of basic Christianity. All Christians believe more than is contained in the Apostles' Creed, but none can believe less." (p. xv-xvi)
Perhaps more than ever, Christians in the twenty-first century need to reaffirm the truths articulated in the Apostles' Creed:
- We must be apostolic in our teaching and worship.
- We must defend the faith once for all delivered to the saints.
- We must resist the temptation to deny the very nature of truth itself.
The Creed helps us in all of these endeavors, serving as "a timeless distillation of the Christian faith" (p. xix).
