Doctrine & Doxology

Scripture Alone… So Why Creeds?

Are creeds and confessions still necessary for the church today? Some Christians see them as outdated traditions—or even as competing with Scripture. Others view them as essential tools for preserving sound doctrine and guiding the church. In this episode of Doctrine and Doxology, we explore what creeds and confessions are, why they were written, and whether they still have a place in the modern church. We discuss how they relate to Scripture, how they help guard truth, and why they can serve as faithful summaries of biblical teaching. Far from replacing the Bible, creeds and confessions aim to clarify and protect it.
