Years ago this book was published under a different title: ‘The Creedal Imperative.’ I would have put that book on this list, but instead I’m posting this updated version of that book. Trueman’s core contention in this book is that the creeds, though ancient, really do speak to the topics of personhood an identity which have so consumed our culture. A return to authority and tradition would do our world well, argues Trueman. This book is an excellent read, especially for someone who is skeptical that creeds can really be all that helpful.
