The Story of Creeds and Confessions
Baker Academic, Div of Baker Publishing Group (Verlag)
978-0-8010-9816-1 (ISBN)
Creeds and confessions throughout Christian history provide a unique vantage point from which to study the Christian faith. To this end, Donald Fairbairn and Ryan Reeves construct a story that captures both the central importance of creeds and confessions over the centuries and their unrealized potential to introduce readers to the overall sweep of church history. The book features texts of classic creeds and confessions as well as informational sidebars.
Donald Fairbairn (PhD, University of Cambridge) is academic dean and the Robert E. Cooley Professor of Early Christianity at the Charlotte, North Carolina, campus of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Ryan M. Reeves (PhD, University of Cambridge) is associate professor of historical theology at the Jacksonville, Florida, campus of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
