For seventeen centuries the Nicene Creed has united Christians in confessing the faith once delivered to the saints. Yet many believers recite its words without fully understanding their meaning or the controversies that gave rise to them.

In this concise and accessible introduction, Kevin DeYoung explains why the Nicene Creed remains one of the most significant documents in Christian history. Blending historical background, biblical exposition, and theological clarity, he guides readers through the creed phrase by phrase, showing how it defends the deity of Christ, safeguards the doctrine of the Trinity, and continues to serve the church today.

Whether you are encountering the creed for the first time or seeking to deepen your appreciation of its significance, this volume demonstrates why careful doctrinal language matters and why the Nicene Creed remains an indispensable summary of the Christian faith.
