Creeds

Several distinguished theologians have written commentaries on the Apostles’ Creed. There are two, both titled Credo, one by Karl Barth (translation from Hodder & Stoughton, 1964) and one by Hans Urs von Balthasar (translation from Ignatius Press, 2000).

John Pearson’s Exposition of the Creed (first published in 1659) was for centuries the mainstay of clerical education in England. A notable curiosity is John Mason Neale’s children’s book, Tales Illustrative of the Apostles’ Creed (Masters, 1857).
