Description
The Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed of 381 was a pivotal statement in the theological controversies and confessional atmosphere of the fourth-century church. In this exploration, Alexander Irving examines Christian belief about God, creation, and redemption as expressed in the Creed.
By setting the Creed within its historical and theological contexts, Irving highlights the importance of tradition and the interconnectedness between thought in the church today and throughout history. He also connects the Creed's theology to contemporary areas of inquiry, revealing an internal logic that underpins the Christian faith.
The Creed outlines the fundamental parameters of Christian belief, while leaving room for interpretation within those boundaries. Irving sheds light on the theological motif that gives shape to the Creed, particularly in its portrayal of God's expansive generosity and love, which grounds creation in his very being as a loving entity.
