Description and Table of Contents
Description
Jaroslav Pelikan has been translating, editing and studying the Christian creeds and confessions of faith for 60 years. This book is the historical and theological distillation of that work. In "Credo", Pelikan addresses essential questions about the Christian tradition: the origins of creeds; their function; their political role; how they relate to Christian institutions, worship and service; and how they help to explain the major divisions of the Christian church and of Christian history. "Credo" stands as an independent reference work devoted to the subject of what creeds and confessions are and what their role in history has been.
