Christianity has always been a "creedal" religion in that it has
always been theological. It was rooted in the theological tradition
of ancient Israel, which was unifi ed by its historical credos and
declaratory affi rmations of faith. No pre-theological era has been
discovered in the New Testament or in the history of the Christian
community. From the beginning Christianity has been theological,
involving men in theological refl ection and calling them to
declarations of faith. A non-theological Christianity has simply
never endured, although such has been attempted, for instance, by
individual seers in the sixteenth century and also by collaborators
with totalitarian ideologies in the twentieth century. The creeds
presented here range from the ancient faith of the Hebrews and the
creed-like formulas of the New Testament to the Barmen declaration
of 1934 (framed by the Christians in Germany who faced the threat
of Nazism) and the Batak Creed of 1951 (in which Indonesian
Christians gave authentic expression to their religious belief in
the idiom of their own culture. All the creeds are in some sense
"offi cial," and every major division of Christendom is
represented, including the Younger Churches. The volume ends with
the messages of the most important assemblies dealing with the
Ecumenical Movement. This single volume, containing all the major
theological affi rmations of the Christian community, is a source
book for the study of Christian theology. It comprises a record of
the Church's interpretation of the Bible in the past and an
authoritative guide to its interpretation on the present. Indeed,
it is a guide to an understanding of the Christian interpretation
of life.
