Christ & Creed
The Early Church Creeds & their Value for Today
Nate Pickowicz
Early major ecumenical creeds
Highlights distinctives and historical context
Creeds for the church today
From the Latin word credo, meaning ‘I believe’, creeds are statements of personal belief. They have been used throughout the history of the church to helpfully condense the fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith. In Christ & Creed Nate Pickowicz helpfully examines the early major ecumenical creeds, providing historical context and highlighting the distinctives in the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Definition of Chalcedon and the Athanasian Creed. He shows how these statements are still invaluable for the church today. It also includes a glossary and recommended further reading.

When I was saved out of false doctrine it was the gospel that did it, but once saved I faced the tall task of sifting through the wreckage of twisted beliefs. Faithful forerunners have fought the fight, run their race, and left helpful doctrinal ‘checkpoints’ for us today. My friend Nate Pickowicz has put them all in this book for you. I know you’ll be blessed!
