The Nicene Creed, with Dr. Phillip Cary

Dr. Phil Cary joins Matt and Alastair for a riveting discussion of the Nicene Creed.

Why do we need creeds? What are they for? Isn’t Scripture enough? Dr. Phillip Cary has a very useful and smart book introducing the Nicene Creed to a wider audience and taking those of us who say the Creed every week even deeper into this summary of the Christian faith. In this conversation Alastair and Matt talk with Dr. Cary about the basics and the finer points of the Nicene Creed.
