J. N. D. Kelly's study of the Athanasian Creed, published by Adam and Charles Black in 1964, is a scholarly patristic analysis by a historian whose work on the early creeds and doctrines of the church remained a standard reference for decades after publication. Its authority rests on Kelly's direct engagement with the manuscript and doctrinal history of the creed. Its limit is that it reflects the state of patristic scholarship at the time of writing, so a claim resting on more recent manuscript work should be checked against later scholarship as well.
