In this essay, Dr. Cullmann sets himself to answer these questions: -Why did Christians need to have, besides Scripture, and apostolic formula to summarise the faith they professed? -What circumstances brought this necessity about? -What is the composition of the first formulas, and how did they develop in the earliest times? -What is the essential content of the Christian faith according to the earliest formulas? ""Cullmann's book [The Earliest Christian Confessions] was and remains an important contribution and is worthy of a new edition."" --Professor Richard Bauckham, FBA, FRSE, Cambridge, UK Dr. Oscar Cullmann (1902-1999) was born in Strasbourg--then in Germany--where he studied classical philology and theology. From then on, he held a variety of teaching positions involving history and theology.
