The Three Ecumenical Confessions [Next intake 2027]
Deepen your understanding of the Triune God through the Apostolic, Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds. Examine their origins, content, and coherence—including the crucial filioque issue—discovering how the nature and essence of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit shape your faith and personal relationship with God.
THE THREE ECUMENICAL (CATHOLIC) CONFESSIONS
These three (shorter) confessions are often included in the liturgy of each worship service. This course examines each one’s origin, content, and meaning. The coherence and focus of the Twelve Articles (Apostolic Creed), the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasius Creed are studied.
It includes a comparative study of the three confessions, with special attention to the filioque issue (“and the Son”) in the Confession of Nicaea. This matter is crucial in articulating the belief in the Trinity: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This fundamental knowledge of God the Triune plays a crucial role in understanding God and in understanding all aspects of our faith that we profess and live.
