“The Apostles’ Creed”

Larminie, H.A. CSD. “The Apostles’ Creed.” The Christian Science Journal 7, no. 8 (November 1889): 385–88.

The contemporary importance of this brief article written by Hannah Larminie and published in 1889 by the Christian Science Publishing Society lies in its theological explanations of Christian Science. It provides some answers to the oft-repeated question about what the correct understanding of Christian Science doctrine is vis-a-vis the mainstream adoption of the Apostles’ Creed. The article points out that “Christian Scientists can wholly agree with them. A brief explanation will make clear their meaning was understood in Science” (385). A brief theological interpretation from a Christian Science perspective follows each line of the Creed.
