9781333104634: An Exposition of the Creed (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Explore the meaning of eternal life and eternal judgment as the Creed teaches. This edition presents a clear, paragraph‑by‑paragraph explanation of what Christians believe about life after death, the nature of heaven, and the reality of hell.



The text frames how these beliefs influence holy living, repentance, and the value placed on Christ’s redemptive work. It also shows how the promise of eternal reward and the warning of eternal punishment are presented as essential motives for faith and obedience.




  • Understand the connection between eternal life and holy living.

  • See why belief in eternal consequences is argued as necessary for repentance.

  • Learn how Scripture is used to support these doctrines in a practical way.

  • Get a concise view of the stakes in Christian theological reasoning about eternity.



Ideal for readers of Christian doctrine, historical theology, and anyone seeking a straightforward guide to the creedal statements about life, death, and what lies beyond.
