Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Four Marks of the Church are a group of four adjectives—one, holy, catholic and apostolic—characteristics that describe the marks or distinctives of the Christian church. The Four Marks describe a belief within Christendom that the body of Christ—the church—is characterized by four particular “marks”. These marks found their way into the Creed of Constantinople in 381, “‘[We believe] in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.’” Protestant reformer John Calvin taught that the marks of the authentic church were where the Word was rightly preached, the sacraments rightly celebrated and discipline observed. While no creed or affirmation of faith can say all there is to say about what Christians believe, the Four Marks represent a summary of some of the more important affirmations of the Christian faith. These words were used by Counter-Reformation theologians in an effort to distinguish the Roman Catholic Church as "the one, true Church of Christ" from all of the "false" claimants that had emerged from the Protestant Reformation.
