Sinopsis

Explore how the Nicene Creed and the New Testament shape belief and church life.

This thoughtful study examines the Creed’s origins, its relation to Scripture, and how early church debates continue to inform faith and practice today. It questions common divides between the Bible and the Church, offering a careful look at how history, tradition, and interpretation intertwine. The book analyzes how the New Testament presents Jesus and the core Christian message, and why attempts to separate the historical Jesus from the Christus of the Church can miss the larger story. It emphasizes continuity of idea and inspiration across Scripture and the Christian community, and it situates these questions within a broader Anglo-Catholic perspective that respects both text and tradition.

  • How the Creed reflects the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus as recorded in the New Testament
  • Ways scholars view the relationship between biblical texts, history, and church tradition
  • Arguments for a living interpretive process that honors both Scripture and the Church
  • Considerations of how Canon, Spirit, and community shape belief across ages
Ideal for readers interested in church history, biblical studies, and how doctrinal summaries influence everyday faith. The book is a thoughtful resource for anyone seeking to understand why tradition and scripture are often seen as a single living tradition in Christian life.

Excerpt from The Gospel and the Creed

Our subject today is the Gospel and the Creed, and I am glad to have the opportunity of addressing some remarks to you on this head, for it is one upon which there is much discussion. Many questions are involved, and I cannot treat them all. Two of the most important, the idea of the Supernatural and the doctrine of our Lond's Person, are in the very able hands of Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Mozley I shall not touch upon either of these subjects. I wish to say a few words upon a matter which seems to me of vital importance at the present time - the function of a definite faith, expressible in definite terms, in the shape of a creed, in the proclama tion of the Gospel of Christ.

There has been, as we all know, a prevalent notion that Christianity needs no positive doctrine - no dogma. Its functions are fulfilled if men are virtuous and chari table, and when that is so, it does not matter much what they believe. I greatly hope that this theory of religion is gradually dying of inanition. Christianity has always been, when it is at its best, a missionary religion: it is hard to imagine a more futile programme for missionary work than a Gospel, so-called, without a creed. It is merely homiletic when it ought to inspire with new force and enthusiasm: and it leaves all the real problems of nature and life and religion out of account. The hope of Reunion, which has been seriously delayed by the prevalence of such notions as these, will probably extinguish them finally, now that the task of finding an agreed basis has been at last taken up with determina tion and goodwill.

Excerpt from The Gospel and the Creed

'The Purpose and Aim of this Congress is', according to the statement on the front page of its programme, 'to extend the Knowledge of Catholic Faith and practice at home and abroad, and, by this means, to bring men and women to a true realization of our Lord Jesus Christ, as their personal Saviour and King.' The ultimate purpose here stated is one with which every Christian man must have sympathy: and it appeals with special force to members of the Church of England, as it combines in its purview the evangelical message of Salvation through Christ and the reference to Catholic faith and practice. I do not think, therefore, that I need, in any way, to apologize for my presence here to-day; though I am, of course, aware that some, perhaps many, of those here present may support beliefs and practices which do not seem to me to be either rightly described as Catholic, or capable, intrinsically, of valid defence. I could not, for instance, accept many of the statements in the Handbook, under the heading 'misunderstood subjects'. I do hold, and in this I understand that we here I think it will become increasingly manifest throughout Christendom - are all likely to be agreed, that the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the Saviour of man, which is the divine answer to the doubts and hopes of man, will make firm and stable progress when it is presented by a society 'perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgement', 'speaking the same thing'.
