This book is intended to help all those interested in the Christian art of preaching to prepare and deliver sermons on the central doctrines of the faith. The Creed is a very effective tool for achieving this goal, as it is the Church's oldest declaration of faith. Its origins date back to the Early Church, which is why it touches upon the core tenets that every true Christian must believe.
Contrary to popular belief, the Creed is not a "Catholic" document. It was not created by the Roman Catholic Church, but was written before the age of Constantine. The doctrinal points covered by the Creed are so important that they define whether a church, council, or denomination is a truly Christian entity. Therefore, we present this resource with the dual purpose of advancing knowledge of Christian doctrines and encouraging the practice of doctrinal preaching in our congregations.
