The "Apostles Creed" is an early statement of [[Christianity|Christian]] belief, probably from the first or second century. It appears to have been written as a response to [[Gnosticism]].  The Apostles' Creed is widely used by a number of [[Protestant]] denominations for both services and theological education, most visibly by the [[Lutheran]] and [[Anglican]] churches.
