Joseph Small (Louisville: Geneva Pres, 2005).  Van Dyk gives seven functions of the creeds:  1) they identify Christian believers in the faith;  2) they educate persons in their Christian beliefs;  3) they unify Christian believers;  4) they have an apologetic and polemical function;  5) they have a doxological function;  6)  they edify Christians.  7) They comfort Christians.   Nov/Dec 2010 Theology Matters, p. 12
