Reading Level: Ages 13+

Kevin DeYoung explains three aspects of the Nicene Creed, in a beautiful summary of introduction to such a rich doctrinal statement. He carefully breaks down the heresies that were being dealt with around the establishing of the creed, the creed’s content, and the ways we can apply the creed today. He uses simple language, useful to someone who has never heard about the Nicene Creed or hasn’t learned about it in depth. While simple, he does not dumb down the creed in any way, yet he expounds more on the “why” of the Nicene Creed. This is a wonderful resource to introduce your child to this rich doctrinal text.
