The Creedal Imperative: Why Creeds? (Part 8/9)

In this series, Brendon and Skye are going through the book Crisis of Confidence by Carl Trueman – exploring the reasons why Christians have normally used creeds to guard the faith, and why Mormons have been anti-creedal since their founding. This week we cover chapter six: “On the Usefulness of Creeds and Confessions”.
