Eleven Articles on the Historic Christian Faith
The faith confessed at Nicaea in 325 and Constantinople in 381, set out in eleven in-depth articles: what the Church believes, why, and how it compares with the alternatives. Each one is sourced, rates its own evidence honestly, and says plainly what remains disputed.
