Excerpt from On Behalf of Belief: Sermons Preached in S. Paul's Cathedral The Apostles' Creed is mainly a plain statement of matters of fact, yet, as a formula of belief, it appeals, of course, not to the critical and calculative understanding which is used in the discussion or the examination of historical evidence, but to the spiritual and apprehensive faculties, which lay hold of eternal verities. It does so because the belief which it asks for is not the mere belief that the facts occurred. Such a belief would be quite possible, without anything that could be called "faith."
