Carl Trueman Analyzes How Ancient Creeds and Confessions Protect and Promote Biblical Christianity in a Culture of Expressive Individualism
Historic statements of faith—such as the Heidelberg Catechism, the Apostles’ Creed, and the Westminster Confession of Faith—have helped the Christian church articulate and adhere to God’s truth for centuries. However, many modern evangelicals reject these historic documents and the practices of catechesis, proclaiming their commitment to “no creed but the Bible.” And yet, in today’s rapidly changing culture, ancient liturgical tradition is not only biblical—it’s essential.
In Crisis of Confidence, Carl Trueman analyzes how creeds and confessions can help the Christian church navigate modern concerns, particularly around the fraught issue of identity. He contends that statements of faith promote humility, moral structure, and a godly view of personhood, helping believers maintain a strong foundation amid a culture in crisis. This is a revised edition of Trueman’s The Creedal Imperative, now with a new section on the rise of expressive individualism.
Updated Edition of The Creedal Imperative: Includes fresh cultural insights on modern individualism
Written by Carl Trueman: Author of The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self (100,000+ copies sold)
Theological and Historical: Explains why creeds and confessions are necessary, how they have developed over time, and how they can function in the church of today and tomorrow
Ideal for Pastors, Professors, and Those Interested in Liturgical Tradition

Peter encourages Christians to always be prepared to give an answer when our faith is put into question (1 Peter 3:15). As Trueman progressed in “Crisis of Confidence,” this verse kept coming back to me. Creeds and confessions do just what Peter encourages us to do: take biblical truth and put them into concise statements that help answer questions about the Christian faith. They inform our doctrine, church governance, and Christian unity. Creeds and confessions even help us in our worship.
Most importantly, creeds and confessions do not go against “Scripture alone” (at least historic, biblical creeds). Dr. Trueman delivered well on this topic, but I wish he would have narrated himself!
