An Exposition of the Creed by John Pearson and published by Classics.
To the theological student some of the most valuable parts of this book “An Exposition of the Creed” are the rich mine of patristical and general learning contained in the notes. If the passages to which reference is thus made were collected, with the context in which they occur, they would form a complete chain of the best authorities upon doctrinal points.
Even the briefest allusions derived from reading so extensive, and a memory so tenacious as John Pearson's, deserve to be treasured as suggestive of patient investigation and deep thought, and directing the inquirer to the original sources whence information may be obtained. This consideration, the author trusts, will be a sufficient excuse for a minuteness of reference in the notes, which, under other circumstances, might be regarded as superfluous.
