Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Great Symbols The word Symbol is derived from the Greek sumbolon (from sun-ballo, I cast or throw together), and meant originally to cast together several portions so as to form a whole; eg. a feast, towards which each person had contributed something to the common stock. Probably it was in this sense that the creeds of the early church came to be called symbols, because (according to Augustine) all the fundamental doctrines of Christianity were gathered in them, or from the tradition related by Rufinus that the so-called Apostle´s Creed was formed by each of the apostles on the day of Pentecost contributing a sentence; Peter commencing: "I believe in God the Father," the others continuing, and so on to Matthias, who concluded, "the life ever lasting. Amen." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
