The Creed and the Church

＂The Creed and the Church: A Hand-Book of Theology＂ offers a concise yet comprehensive exploration of Christian doctrine and ecclesiastical governance. Primarily based on Pearsonâ€(TM)s seminal work, ＂On the Creed,＂ and the fifth book of Hooker’s ＂Ecclesiastical Polity,＂ this volume serves as an invaluable synopsis for students and lay readers alike. Edgar Sanderson skillfully distills complex theological arguments into accessible summaries, elucidating the historical development and contemporary relevance of core Christian beliefs.

Sanderson guides readers through key tenets of faith, examining the structure and function of the Church through the lens of historical precedent and theological debate. By synthesizing the insights of Pearson and Hooker, this handbook provides a foundational understanding of Anglican theology and its enduring influence on Western Christianity. A must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the creedal basis of Christian belief and the historical context of church governance.
