A Layman's Guide to the Apostles' Creed

Next to Scripture, the statement of faith most often used to communicate the essence of Christianity is the Apostles' Creed. For the Early Church it provided a touchstone to guide both evangelism and discipleship in a vast work of diverse cultures and beliefs.In today's world of competing ideas and values--with brand-new believers across the globe and in our communities who have little or no Christian background, when even mature Christians don't always know what beliefs really matter--we ignore this time-honored expression of faith at our own risk.
