Christian Creeds
When early Christian Church leaders were trying to come up with a statement of faith, or creed, they looked first to sacred texts and then to tradition. The purpose of a creed was to formalise what was considered correct belief and oppose those errors that these church leaders saw popping up around the Mediterranean world. You can trace schisms in Christianity through respective creeds and their interpretations such as the filioque controversy. By the time of the Reformation protestant churches throughout Europe were developing their own creeds and in doing so, looking back to the origins of Christianity.The following link will take you to site called Creeds of Christendom. It lists a lot of creeds and some have a commentary.
