Synopsis

Hook line : Delve into the six Westminster Abbey lectures that illuminate the Apostles’ Creed and its lasting significance for Christian faith.

This nonfiction volume gathers a focused study of the Creed’s clauses, origins, and enduring meaning. It traces how key phrases express beliefs about Jesus as the Son of God, his lordship, the resurrection, forgiveness, and life eternal, all within a historic and theological frame. The discussion connects ancient confession to contemporary faith, helping readers understand what the Creed claims and why it matters today.

• Learn how the Creed’s words evolved from early Christian teaching to the forms used in worship.
• See how belief in Jesus as Son and Lord shapes the reading of salvation, forgiveness, and future life.
• Understand the relationship between doctrine, church practice, and personal faith.
• Explore the idea of life in Christ through the Holy Spirit and the hope of the resurrection.

Ideal for readers seeking a clear, accessible guide to church history, creed study, and the theological roots of Christian faith.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Fridays of this Lent to the congregation, of all sorts and con ditions, assembled at evensong in Westminster A bbey. Their purpose was catechetical and not critical; so that no attempt was made to refer to authorities. In sending them to press I have added a reference here and there, where I remembered a particular debt; and my general debt to my friends the theologians of this generation, though obvious enough, I take this opportunity of thank fully acknowledging. In the first lecture a paragraph or two has been borrowed from the preface to a volume of sermons published in 1892, and long out of print. My hope, in seeking for these lectures a new term of life, is that they may minister, in however humble a degree, to that exposition of the Christian faith, in terms com prehensible to the age, which every age whose intelligence is awake is entitled to demand from its clergy. H. C. B. ST. BARTHOLOMEWS DAY, 1905.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
