Faith to Creed: Ecumenical Perspectives on the Affirmation of the Apostolic Faith in the Fourth Century

by S. Mark Heim (Editor)

As churches today struggle toward unity in faith, an increasingly crucial question has been whether they can reach a common affirmation of the apostolic faith as confessed in the Nicene Creed. The contributors to this book explore the historical and cultural setting of the creed's text in an effort to achieve an ecumenical understanding of its expression of faith in the fourth century as well as for today.
