Early Church Councils and Creeds
We owe the early church leaders a great debt for their faithful legacy to the truth, in spite of personal comfort or acceptance. They embodied their beliefs in doctrinal statements called Creeds. These men were not ivory tower theologians. They lived in a real world that was hostile to the truth about Jesus Christ. Most of them had personally suffered persecution or torture for their faith. It makes these early church statements all the more rich and precious.
