Faith in Formulae will be an indispensable resource in patristic/early Christian/late antique studies for the foreseeable future... For an authoritative and comprehensive guide to early Christian creeds, look no further.

Mark S. M. Scott, Reading Religion

In these four volumes Wolfram Kinzig has put together the largest compilation to date of texts which profess to set out the principal tenets of the Church between the second and the eighth centuries of the Christian era ... The result is a monument of erudition, an invaluable resource for all future scholarship, and pleasurable reading for those who have hitherto been unable to approach the texts for want of an English rendering ... In scope there is nothing to match it, and it makes many texts available for the first time to Anglophone readers in translations which are invariably accurate and lucid.

Mark Edwards, Journal of Ecclesiastical History

[E]very theological library must own this four-volume set, Faith in Formulae. Without question it has become the new standard in its field and promises to remain that way for many years to come ... This set is a stunning achievement in primary source material.

Kelly M. Kapic, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society

Wolfram Kinzig's Faith in Formulae is an essential acquisition for any research library with holdings in early or medieval Christianity... Kinzig's writing is clear and graceful, and engaged with scholarly questions about authorship and dating. His translations, and those of Christopher M. Hays, are sound and unstilted... Scholars owe a debt of gratitude to Kinzig, whose work will shape scholarship for the foreseeable future.

Joel Kalvesmaki, Catholic Historical Review

Creeds, such as the Apostolic and Nicene creeds, have shaped the core of the Christian faith. It is therefore surprising that for over a century there has been no comprehensive collection of the early Christian creeds in their original languages. However, the study of their history has made excellent progress. In the general introduction to this volume, Wolfram Kinzig summarizes the present state of research. This is followed by a collection of all creeds and credal formulae of the early Church in Greek and Latin, covering the whole period from the writings of the New Testament down to the early Middle Ages. The source texts are taken from the most up-to-date critical editions available and newly found texts have been added. They are accompanied by English translations and where applicable introduced individually by brief remarks on their authorship, date, and provenance. The volumes feature useful notes and cross-references.
