The apostles and prophets played an important role in the early life of the church as they laid its foundation as seen in Ephesians 2:20.

form was seen in the year 390; when a letter was sent by the Synod of Milan to Pope Siricius. (Kelly, 1972, pp1). Although Kelly’s argument is informative, she fails to provide any context during the time the Apostles Creed was being created. However where Kelly lacks, Harvey argues, the Apostles felt the need to create a Creed because the scripture of the New Testament was still being canonised. Further developing this, by arguing, Christians at the time did not have accessibility to the New…

It is important to note the context in which early Christian writer Paul spoke of homoeroticism, particularly in his letter to the Romans, which is argued by sociologist Jeramy Townsley to not really be about homoeroticism at all.
