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.
From the Latin word credo, meaning ‘I believe’, creeds are
statements of personal belief. They have been used throughout the
history of the church to helpfully condense the fundamental beliefs
of the Christian faith. 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 & 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.
