The life of the Church from the very beginning is connected with searching for Her own identity which has its expression in the forming of the profession of faith. The testimonies of this fact can be found already in the Old Testament, which is shown in multifarious doctrinal formulas which are handed over by the apostolic proclamation which is based on them. In a relatively short time these formulas were gathered as a whole, first in the profession of faith used during the right of Baptism and later, especially in a profession of faith which is called the Apostles’ Creed. It has preserved its significance and superior role in theology and preaching to this day although in reality its role has been diminished especially in preaching. This paper recommends the return to the Apostles’ Creed and to its inspiring role. The most important thing is to present its doctrinal message which highlights the need for the holistic, Trinitarian and Christological perspective in reference to theological issues. Today, the Apostles’ Creed can play the same role in the organisation of Church proclamation, which admiring the so called original kerygma falls into short-sighted interpretations and restrictions, resulting in the weakening of Christian identity.

The first Commentaries to the “Apostolic Symbol”, written in a quite simple language, spread about the IV century among the Latin Churches, which were accustomed to use professions of faith reproducing the “Roman Symbol”, a model for the textus receptus of the “Symbol” so called “of the Apostles”, an excellent summary of the revealed truths. St. Quodvultdeus of Carthage, in his Sermones de Symbolo, comments the first article of the “Apostolic Symbol” by affirming that it contains the whole faith in the Trinity and the plan of salvation. In commenting the second article, St. Quodvultdeus of Carthage explains how the Incarnate Son is the Messiah announced by the prophets of the Old Testament. Such Incarnation constitutes the second birth of the Word of God after that from the Father without any participation from a mother. He further highlights the great dignity of Mary, playing a quite active role in the work of the Incarnation by giving birth to her Creator. The coming of the Son of God into the world was carried out in a miraculous way, by the work of the Holy Spirit and without the participation of man. For this reason Mary remains virgin and the true Son of God becomes a true man, while still remaining equal to the Father in his divinity. By assuming the human nature in the Incarnation, the Son of God took on Himself all that constitutes a true human being: the soul and the body, already redeemed and sanctified in the very moment of the Incarnation.

Życie Kościoła od samego początku związane jest z poszukiwaniem własnej tożsamości, której wyrazem jest formowanie się wyznania wiary. Świadectwa tego znajdujemy już w Nowym Testamencie, o czym świadczą rozmaite formuły doktrynalne, na których opierasię i które przekazuje przepowiadanie apostolskie. W stosunkowo krótkim czasie te formuły zostały zebrane w jedną całość, najpierw w chrzcielnym wyznaniu wiary, a potem zwłaszcza w wyznaniu wiary nazywanym Symbolem Apostolskim. Zachowuje on swoją wagę i pierwszorzędną rolę w teologii i w przepowiadaniu do naszych czasów, chociaż w praktyce jego rola uległa pomniejszeniu, zwłaszcza w przepowiadaniu. W niniejszym artykule proponuje się powrót do Symbolu Apostolskiego i do jego inspirującego naczenia. Chodzi przede wszystkim o wydobycie jego przesłania doktrynalnego, które zwraca uwagę na potrzebę całościowego, trynitarno-chrystologicznego, ujmowania zagadnień teologicznych. Taką samą rolę może on odegrać w porządkowaniu dzisiejszego przepowiadania ościelnego, które zachwycając się tak zwanym kerygmatem pierwotnym, popada w krótkowzroczne interpretacje i zawężenia, czego rezultatem jest osłabianie tożsamości chrześcijańskiej.
