Exposition of the Apostles' Creed
by James Dodds
'Exposition of the Apostles' Creed' Summary
James Dodds's book Exposition of the Apostles' Creed is a comprehensive and insightful explanation of the central beliefs of Christianity. The Apostles' Creed is a short statement of faith that has been used by Christians for centuries. It summarizes the core beliefs of Christianity, such as the belief in one God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and the belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Dodds's book is divided into twelve chapters, each of which corresponds to one article of the Apostles' Creed. In each chapter, Dodds provides a detailed explanation of the article, including its biblical basis, its historical context, and its theological implications.
Dodds begins his book by explaining the historical background of the Apostles' Creed. He argues that the Creed was developed in the early church as a way to summarize the core beliefs of Christianity and to distinguish Christians from non-Christians.
Dodds then goes on to explain each article of the Creed in detail. In his discussion of the first article, "I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth," Dodds discusses the nature of God and the relationship between God and creation. In his discussion of the second article, "And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord," Dodds discusses the person and work of Jesus Christ. In his discussion of the third article, "Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary," Dodds discusses the incarnation of Jesus Christ. In his discussion of the fourth article, "Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried," Dodds discusses the death and burial of Jesus Christ. In his discussion of the fifth article, "He descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead," Dodds discusses the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In his discussion of the sixth article, "He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty," Dodds discusses the ascension of Jesus Christ. In his discussion of the seventh article, "From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead," Dodds discusses the second coming of Jesus Christ. In his discussion of the eighth article, "I believe in the Holy Ghost," Dodds discusses the nature and work of the Holy Spirit. In his discussion of the ninth article, "The holy catholic church; the communion of saints," Dodds discusses the nature of the church. In his discussion of the tenth article, "The forgiveness of sins," Dodds discusses the doctrine of salvation. In his discussion of the eleventh article, "The resurrection of the body," Dodds discusses the doctrine of the bodily resurrection. In his discussion of the twelfth article, "And the life everlasting," Dodds discusses the doctrine of eternal life.
Dodds's book is a valuable resource for Christians of all denominations. It is also a helpful resource for people who are interested in learning more about Christianity. Dodds's writing is clear, concise, and engaging. He provides a wealth of information on the biblical basis for each article of the Creed, as well as on the different theological interpretations of the Creed throughout history.
