A Wroot Press reference

Doctrine

An annotated reference for the Great Christian Tradition and the Wesleyan Tradition.

The creed is the spine; each phrase is a door into translation history, controversy, interpretation across traditions, and pastoral use. Written for those who pray the creeds and want to know what they are praying. A companion to Difficult Passages.
