VOL. 32, NO. 6 | The Rule of Faith

In this issue, we discuss the role of creeds and confessions in the Christian life. Secular historians often assume the ancient creeds were invented and imposed by church authorities to maintain theological conformity and thus control. But the early church fathers are adamant that the church didn’t determine its own rule of faith. The church didn’t add to Scripture our faith in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and their work of creation and redemption. The church received this faith from Scripture.
