There are few Apologetics that have any meat on them. Most can be easily dismissed. One I rarely hear about is the Pre-Pauline Creed. The purpose seems to be to validate belief in an earthly Jesus and the Resurrection as an historical event by establishing that a creed was referred to by Paul going back to shortly after the Resurrection. I'm going to look at it and see for myself whether or not the Pre-Pauline Creed is a strong argument, or not. For me, it doesn't ultimately matter whether or not there was an early creed because all it could show is an early belief in the Resurrection, and not testify as to the truth behind those beliefs. However, I am curious as to what validity the creed has as part of an argument. The Background It is acknowledged that Paul wrote I Corinthians, which includes chapter 15, from which a Pre-Pauline Creed is extracted. I have only recently heard about this and while it has the feel of falseness like Isaiah 7:14, it's been around awhile.
