Synopsis
Explore how Christian tradition and modern thought meet in the pages of a thoughtful theological study.
This excerpt surveys how the Nicene Creed and the New Testament shape a coherent view of Christ, while examining debates about the so?called Jesus of History. It argues that the gospel message rests in the New Testament writings and asks how the Church should interpret those writings today. The author discusses the tension between Scripture as a written Word and the living interpretation that guides the Church through changing times.
By weighing questions about canons, inspiration, and the relation between the Bible and the Church, this book offers a careful look at Anglo?Catholic perspectives and the ongoing search for unity in belief.
- Clear discussion of how early creed formation relates to later church practice
- Balanced critique of the idea of separating the Jesus of History from the Jesus of the New Testament
- Examination of how Scripture, tradition, and church life interact in understanding faith
- Accessible look at canons, inspiration, and the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding the Church
Ideal for readers of theological history and readers seeking a careful, measured view of how creed, scripture, and church life fit together.

The Gospel and the Creed (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between the Gospel message and the Creed, arguing that both are essential for the proclamation of the Christian faith. The author argues that while the Gospel provides the divine answer to the doubts and hopes of man, a definite faith expressed in the form of a creed is essential for its effective communication. The author examines the influence of Greek philosophy and mystery religions on the development of Christian doctrine and the importance of the Nicene Creed in clarifying and protecting the teachings of the New Testament. The book also discusses the role of the Church in interpreting the Bible and guiding the faithful in the application of Christian principles to new ages and circumstances, while also acknowledging the need to avoid undue reliance on tradition by critically evaluating historical and metaphysical claims. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of studying the history of the Church and adopting a liberal approach to the nature of truth in order to understand the full meaning of the Gospel and the Creed in the present day.
