Introduction 15 phrasing is the result of the desire to create a statement of faith that would not allow any room for the Arian heresy and its emphasis upon Christ ‘as a creature’ to continue in the Christian religion. 19 The statement then makes the more intellectually difficult assertion that Jesus Christ was both man and God and places any attempts to assert the divinity over the humanity or the humanity over the divinity as acts of heresy. The Roman Catholic and the primary Protestant churches of the seventeenth century are affirming their continued acceptance of this belief through adopting the creeds as a part of their central statements of faith. The final creed affirmed by the ‘39 Articles’ is the Athanasian Creed. Though less used today, it still has wide acceptance in the Church as it also did in the seventeenth century. In addition to the inclusion in the ‘39 Articles’, this creed is also to be found in the Lutheran ‘Book of Concord’, Zwingli’s Fifei Expositio, the Callican Confession, the Belgic Confession, the synod of Dort, and Pope Pius V confirmed its place in the Roman Catholic mass. 20 The strong Protestant and Roman Catholic support that the creed received is important due to the emphasis it places on the importance of the Incarnation to the Christian faith with the creed explicitly stating that not believing in the Incarnation and its proper place in the Trinity is a damnable offence. The creed is long, but the precision of the language is important due to its attempt to define the Trinity and the Incarnation in such a way that will not allow those who would deny the divinity or humanity of the incarnate Jesus any room to use the creed for support. For this reason the complete creed is provided here. 19 Christian Theology, pp. 15-17. 20 J. N. D. Kelly, The Athanasian Creed (London, 1964), pp. 48-51.
Introduction 16 Whosoever desires to be saved must above all things hold the Catholic faith. Unless a man keeps it in its entirety inviolate, he will assuredly perish eternally. Now this is the Catholic faith, that we worship one God in Trinity and Trinity in unity, without either confusing the persons or dividing the substance. For the Father’s person is one, the Son’s another, the Holy Spirit’s another; but the Godhead of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is one, their glory is equal, their majesty coeternal. Such as the Father is, such is the Son, such also the Holy Spirit. The Father is increate, the Son increate, the Holy Spirit increate. The Father is infinite, the Son infinite, the Holy Spirit infinite. The Father is eternal, the Son eternal, the Holy Spirit eternal. Yet there are not three eternals, but one eternal; just as there are not three increates or three infinites, but one increate and one infinite. In the same way the Father is almighty, the Son almighty, the Holy Spirit almighty; yet there are not three almighties, but one almighty. Thus the Father is God, the Son God, the Holy Spirit God; and yet there are not three Gods, but there is one God. Thus the Father is Lord, the Son Lord, the Holy Spirit Lord; and yet there are not three Lords, but there is one Lord. Because just as we are obliged by Christian truth to acknowledge each person separately both God and Lord, so we are forbidden by the Catholic religion to speak of three Gods or Lords. The Father is made of none, not made nor created nor begotten. The Son is from the Father alone, not made nor created but begotten. The Holy Spirit is from the Father and the Son, not made nor created nor begotten but proceeding. So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Spirit, not three
