Excerpt from Some Thoughts on the Athanasian Creed My principal aim has been to assert the high value of the exposition of the Catholic Faith which is offered to us in this great Confession, and to dis tinguish between that exposition and the guarding clauses which accompany it. When the Confession was compiled in the fifth or sixth century, the exposition contained nothing that was new, for all its great phrases were well tested and familiar. What was new was the language in which the extreme malediction of God was denounced upon all who do not keep the Faith thus set forth. I have indicated my desire to preserve the exposition for the instruction of the members of our Church, and to release it from the guarding clauses which at present so gravely discredit it.

Excerpt from The Athanasian Creed and Its Early Commentaries HE history of this book may be brie y told. In 1888 I obtained one of the last prizes given by Bishop Lightfoot to the Junior Clergy of Durham for an Essay on the Athanasian Creed. The Examiners encouraged me to continue my studies in this subject to which I have now devoted most of my spare time for seven years. The problem of the early history of the Creed presents difficulties which only those can gauge who have tried to test the various theories on the subject by digging down to its roots. I do not claim to have solved it, but I hope to succeed in vindicating the main argument of Dr Waterland in his classical History of the Creed.
