The Nicene Creed: An Introduction. By Phillip Cary. Lexham. [affiliate link]
For over a thousand years the church across the globe confessed the Nicene Creed together. To be a Christian meant worshiping the Trinity of the scriptures, a Trinity our church fathers described in the Creed with orthodox clarity over against the threat of heresy. How strange—indeed, how sad—to admit that many (most?) churches today have never read or confessed the Nicene Creed. Some have never even heard of the Nicene Creed. Phillip Cary’s book is a harvest in a time of famine. With a precision that does not forfeit accessibility, Cary not only explains each word in the Nicene Creed, but he summons the church today to link arms with brothers and sisters of yesterday to confess a Trinity apart from which we have no Christianity.
