About this book

Philip Schaff's Creeds of Christendom gathers the historic confessions of the church with his own history and critical notes. This second volume turns to the history of creeds, tracing how the church's statements of faith arose and developed through the centuries. Schaff, a Swiss-born church historian who taught in America, writes as a careful scholar for students of doctrine and church history.
