Starting with the idea that creeds are formulations of essential Christian beliefs, the author notes a growing number of objections arising from elements within them that are found hard to believe or understand in the present day. While acknowledging these objections, the author cautions against abolishing or changing the creeds, especially not at a time when unity is most desirable. The author suggests that the objectionable elements of the creeds can be interpreted metaphorically, or as attempts to express spiritual realities in the language of the day. The author concludes by emphasizing that various elements in the creeds continue to hold true and important meaning for the modern world, if only they are translated into the language of the present day.
