Description
Summary:"Presenting the biblical, doctrinal and contemporary dimensions of Christianity, this book provides an excellent introduction to Christian theology. Using illustrated examples from selected primary texts, it explores key 'tools' for the scientific study of theology, both affirming the rationale behind Christian thinking while also familiarizing the reader with significant contrary positions. Providing solid foundations in biblical theology and hermeneutics, the book enables students to read Judeo-Christian scripture intelligently. It scrutinizes key testimonies regarding Jesus Christ, discusses the nature of the New Testament, and explores the emergence of doctrinal orthodoxy and the later disagreements which have shaped contemporary Christianity."
