Alan Richardson's Creeds in the Making was first published more
than forty years ago, in January 1935. After ten reprints, it went
out of print in 1975 to make way, we hoped, for a new work which
would reflect the scholarship of a new generation. There is,
however, still no short inexpensive paperback available which
illustrates the early development of the creeds and Christian
doctrine to a general audience in quite the same way as this does,
with its freshness, charm and that almost timeless quality of
writing and judgment which was so characteristic of its author. So
we are happy that it should be reissued for the 1980s, as an
introduction to those coming to creeds and doctrine for the first
time, and as a fitting memorial to a great modern pastor and
teacher. From the first reviews: 'Mr Richardson has a true
teacher's gift, that of making his subject live and relating it to
modern experience and modern knowledge of the universe. He tells a
story, and tells it well. Nor is he content with telling: he
explains. He takes the principal doctrines of the Christian creed,
shows how they came to be defined and what is their lasting value'
(CEN). `In six chapters, Mr Alan Richardson covers the theology of
the creed down to the article of belief in the Holy Ghost. What he
gives us is very like a course of lectures to theological students,
carefully worked out, scholarly and full, yet simply expressed'
(Church Times). Alan Richardson, who died in 1975, was Dean of York
and before that Professor of Christian Theology in the University
of Nottingham.
