They are a valuable in that they - Summarize Christian truth - Testify to what the Church has always believed - Help us be precise in how we express truth - Guard us against heresy and error - Unify believers who share the same testimony In Christ and Creed Nate Pickowicz helpfully examines the early major ecumenical creeds, providing historical context and highlighting the distinctives in the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Definition of Chalcedon and the Athanasian Creed. He shows how these statements are still invaluable for the church today.It also includes a glossary of terms and recommended further reading.

One of the key questions the Protestant Reformation asked and answered was: how does a person get right with God? In approaching this question, the Reformers set out to rediscover and establish the bounds of essential Christianity through five declarations: sola Scriptura (Scripture alone), sola gratia (grace alone), sola fide (faith alone), solus Christus (Christ alone), and sola Deo gloria (the glory of God alone). Nate Pickowicz's guide will help us understand not only the Reformation, but the Christian faith itself.
