Excerpt from The Book of Concord, or the Symbolical Books of the Evangelical Lutheran Church: Translated From the Original Languages, With Analyses and an Exhaustive Index The simplest and briefest Of all the Confessions, the Apostles' Creed, historical investigations show was the product of a grad ual growth of four hundred years, as successive controversies furnished the occasion for additional articles. It was not pri marily a liturgical formula, as it is with us to-day, but a clear and distinct utterance on various controverted points, without mentioning those who taught otherwise. A similar growth can be traced without difficulty in the Nicene Creed, where the Coun cil of Nice marks only a particular stage in its formulation, but neither its beginning nor its completion. The Athanasian Creed is the ultimate fruit Of centuries Of controversy concerning the Trinity and the Incarnation, as the arena for theological dis cussion is passing from the East to the fest.
