Those of us from liturgical churches would be very familiar with the Nicene and Apostle’s Creed. These are affirmations of faith that we recite every Sunday morning— perhaps even every time we pray. However, you might be surprised to learn that there are certain creeds that are even older than these— one of which is found in Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians. Today, we’ll take closer look at this “proto-creed” as we examine 1 Corinthians 15:3-8
1 Corinthians 15:3-8
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
