Endorsements
“Like the Nicene Creed itself, Kevin DeYoung has given us important truths in a short space. Historically informed, theologically informative, and biblically sensitive, this little book will help you understand why the Nicene Creed may be the most important words ever written outside of the words of the Bible.”
Mark Dever, Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, DC
“Kevin DeYoung’s introduction to the Nicene Creed really puts the creed into our hands as something every believer can make intelligent use of—truly a foundational tool for our faith. At just the right length and in just the right tone, this is just the right introduction to the creed.”
Fred Sanders, Professor of Theology, Torrey Honors College, Biola University
“All Christians need creeds, and the Nicene Creed is for all Christians. Well-informed, persuasive, and clear without being simplistic, this book sketches what we believe and why it’s important. It will benefit a wide range of readers.”
