Cowed by our culture, Christians fear sticking out and looking odd. What we need, more than ever, is a generation prepared to say boldly and publicly, “I believe.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreeds and confessions are opportunities to take our stand and declare our glorious God and his marvellous good news. They renew our vision and affirm our communal identity. They safeguard against error. Timeless yet timely, they proclaim a message that the world needs to hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAuthor\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Reeves\u003c\/strong\u003e (PhD, King’s College, London) is President of Union, leading its Mission, Publishing, Research and School ministries.

The affirmation ‘Jesus is Lord’ and similar creed-like assertions adorn the pages of the New Testament. It has only been under the impress of the Enlightenment project in the West that Christians have conceived of a non-confessional approach to being a Christian. This fresh study of creeds and their importance by Dr. Reeves is therefore most welcome. It is a vital reminder of why we need robust statements of faith. Highly recommended.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael A.G.

He shows the creeds not to be dry and obsolete, but instead to be robust statements of the gospel that unite us together and point us to God’s revelation about himself. May our churches hear Reeves’ rallying cry, and recover not rote recitation, but vigorous affirmation of the faith once for all entrusted to the saints.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeri Folmar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePriscilla Talk\u003c\/em\u003e, a podcast by 9Marks Baptist Theological Seminary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCover: Softcover\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Pages: 80\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Union Publishing\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: November 1, 2025\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reeves, Michael","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67507553861873,"sku":"9781068394645","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/8731\/8425\/files\/9781068394645.png?v=1794503032","url":"https:\/\/reformedbookservices.com\/products\/guard-the-gospel-the-value-and-treasure-of-creeds","provider":"Reformed Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
