This is a comprehensive study of the well known and the not so well
known creeds. Dr Kelly's famous book - a study of the rise,
development and use of formularies in the creative centuries of the
Church's history - was immediately acclaimed in Europe and America
as the standard work on the subject. The book opens with an
examination of creedal elements in the New Testament and continues
with an enquiry into the relation of creeds to the rite of Baptism.
The chapters that follow are devoted to a study of the evidence for
'the rule of faith' in the second century; a long discussion of the
old Roman Creed; and a consideration of the creeds of the Eastern
Church and their relation to Western creeds and to those propounded
by the fourth-century councils. Particular attention is given to
the Council of Nicea and the Nicene Creed. In addition, there is a
lengthy and largely original reconstruction of the expansion of the
Roman Creed and its acceptance throughout Europe as the present
Apostle's Creed. Two valuable features of the book are the emphasis
it lays on the liturgical setting of ancient creeds, and the
attempt it makes to elucidate their theology as it was understood
by those who framed them.
