Crisis of Confidence

Paul’s instruction that Timothy hold fast his ‘form of sound words’ (2 Timothy 1:13) set a precedent of creed-writing for early Christians, so argues Carl Trueman. And, following the example of our fathers in the faith, whether post-apostolic, patristic. or protestant, we too should regard creeds and confessions an ‘imperative for the church’. This is the central thesis of Crisis of Confidence, Trueman’s latest attempt to promote confessionalism in an anti-confessional society.
