Description
Creeds and confessions have been used throughout Christian history to summarize the Bible's teaching, distilling the key truths of Scripture into concise and succinct propositions. The ESV Bible with Creeds and Confessions contains 13 important creeds and confessions from church history placed after the complete ESV text, including the Apostles' Creed, the Belgic Confession, and the Heidelberg Catechism. Introductions written by theologian Chad Van Dixhoorn explain the history and original purpose of each—making it easy to regularly reflect on historic articulations of truth as Christians have done for centuries in order to grow in understanding of the faith. • 13 historic creeds and confessions placed in the back, including the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed (325), the Athanasian Creed (381), the Chalcedonian Creed (451), the Augsburg Confession (1530), the Belgic Confession (1561), the 39 Articles (1563), the Canons of Dort (1618–19), the Westminster Confession (1640s), the London Baptist Confession (1689), the Heidelberg Catechism (1563), the Westminster Larger Catechism (1640s), and the Westminster Shorter Catechism (1640s) • Introductions to each of the 13 creeds and confessions written by historian Chad Van Dixhoorn • Smyth-sewn binding • Ribbon marker • Double-column format • Lifetime guarantee (TruTone and leather editions)
