Dr. Mohler's book
This series was inspired by R. Albert Mohler's book on the Apostles' Creed which has been an invaluable resource for the research needed to put it all together. The very name for this series comes from the subtitle to Dr. Mohler's book: 'Discovering Authentic Christianity in an Age of Counterfeits."
The Official Blurb
‘‘The Apostles’ Creed has shaped and guided Christian faith for almost two tousand years. Few documents in the history of the church have similar influence on the life of ordinary believers. The Apostles’ Creed is perhaps the most compelling and formidable statement of Christian doctrine the world has ever known. But do we know what it really means – and how it applies to us today?
‘‘In this illuminating and enlightening new book, theologian R. Albert Mohler Jr. works line-by-line and phrase-by-phrase through each section of the creed, explaining in clear terms what it means and how it equips Chrisitans to live fiathfully in a post-Christian culture. From the nature of the Trinity and the mircale of the Incarnation to the wolrd-shaking truth of the resurrection and the hope of Christ’s return, the theological heritage contained in this ancient statement has the power to shape Christians for vibrant and steadfast living today. The Apostles’ Creeds shows us how.’’

 Why We Need the Apostles' CreedWhether from a desire for “authenticity” or from a mistrust of formal statements of faith, the use of creeds has fallen out of favor in many evangelical churches. However, Dr. Mohler argues that creedal statements are, indeed, still relevant. |
