Know the Creeds and Councils
Watch this series as part of a FREE trial to MasterLectures.
This video series will introduce you to the church’s most important statements of faith over the centuries and explain why those statements still matter today.
In every generation, the Christian church must interpret and restate its bedrock beliefs, answering the challenges and concerns of the day.
This series features Episcopal priest, professor of theology, and author Justin Holcomb leading you through centuries of creeds, councils, catechisms, and confessions. Holcomb presents not with a dry focus on dates and places, but with an emphasis on the living tradition of Christian belief and why it matters for our lives today.
Each lesson explains a key statement of faith and its historical context, provides a simple overview of the statement’s content and key points, and reflects on its contemporary relevance. This series will help you understand the foundations of the Christian faith.
