Exposition of the Apostles' Creed

The author offers a systematic, article-by-article exposition of the Apostles' Creed, explaining each clause and the theological terms it contains. He treats the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in relation to one another and to believers, addresses Christ's incarnation, suffering, death, resurrection, ascension, and future judgment, and considers the church, the communion of saints, forgiveness of sins, bodily resurrection, and eternal life. Historical controversy and technical history are generally set aside in favor of doctrinal clarification, scriptural support, pastoral application, brief footnotes, and an appendix recommending further reading.
