The book titled ""The Creeds of Nicaea, Constantinople, Athanasius: With Extracts and Remarks Bearing on the Warning Clauses and the Procession"" was written by William Selwyn and was first published in 1873. The book is a detailed analysis of the three creeds that were formulated by the early Christian church, namely the Nicene Creed, the Constantinopolitan Creed, and the Athanasian Creed.The book begins with an introduction to the historical context in which these creeds were formulated and the controversies that led to their creation. It then provides a detailed analysis of each creed, including the text of the creeds and the historical and theological context in which they were written.The author also includes extracts and remarks that shed light on the warning clauses and the procession, which are two of the most controversial aspects of these creeds. The warning clauses refer to the anathemas or curses that were included in the creeds to condemn those who held heretical beliefs.
