The Need for Creeds Today: Confessional Faith in a Faithless Age. This item is unavailable.The Need for Creeds Today: Confessional Faith in a Faithless Age

This brief, accessible invitation to the historic creeds and confessions makes a biblical and historical case for their necessity and shows why they are essential for Christian faith and practice today. J. V. Fesko, a leading Reformed theologian with a broad readership in the academy and the church, demonstrates that creeds are not just any human documents but biblically commended resources for the well-being of the church, as long as they remain subordinate to biblical authority. He also explains how the current skepticism and even hostility toward creeds and confessions came about.

J. V. Fesko (PhD, University of Aberdeen) is professor of systematic and historical theology at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi. A minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, he served in church planting and pastoral ministry for more than 10 years and is the author of numerous books, including Reforming Apologetics.
