In lucid and non-technical prose, Young demonstrates how and why
the two most familiar Christian creeds - the Apostles' Creed and
the Nicene Creed - came into being. She describes how creeds
originated in instruction before baptism and have their roots in
the New Testament itself. She then shows how the rise of Gnosticism
and a tendancy towards fragmentation in the church made a clear
statement of faith necessary, as well as outlining the various
controversies which led to particular words and phrases being
included in the creeds as we now have them. She then describes the
construction of the great Christian doctrines of the Trinity and
incarnation.
