Know the Creeds and Councils: Audio Lectures

In every generation, the Christian church must interpret and restate its bedrock beliefs, answering the challenges and concerns of the day. In Know the Creeds and Councils: Audio Lectures, priest and author Justin Holcomb explores centuries of creeds, councils, catechisms, and confessions - not with a dry focus on dates and places, but with an emphasis on the living tradition of Christian belief and why it matters for our lives today.Each lecture explains a key statement of faith and its historical context, provides a simple overview of the statement's content and key points, and reflects on its contemporary relevance. As a part of the KNOW series, Know the Creeds and Councils: Audio Lectures is designed for personal study or classroom use, but also for small groups and Sunday schools wanting to more deeply understand the foundations of the faith.Session Titles and Runtimes:1 - Introduction (13 min)2 - Apostles' Creed (20 min)3 - Council of Nicaea and the Nicene Creed (23 min)4 - Councils of Ephesus (22 min)5 - Council of Chalcedon (16 min)6 - Athanasian Creed (18 min)7 - Councils of Constantinople (15 min)8 - Councils of Carthage and Orange (19 min)9 - Council of Trent (19 min)10 - Heidelberg Catechism (17 min)11 - Thirty-nine Articles of Religion (17 min)12 - Westminster Confession of Faith (13 min)13 - Second Vatican Council (15 min)14 - Modern Confessions: Lausanne Covenant and Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy (22 min)15 - Conclusion (8 min)
