History

As we survey the history of the Apostles' Creed, we will focus on two matters. On the one hand, we will look at the development of the creed, considering things like its authorship and date of composition. And on the other hand, we will look at the purpose of the creed, the reason the church thought it was important to create and to use it. We'll turn first to historical development of the Apostles' Creed.
