Beskrivning

The SCM Studyguide Christian Doctrine engages readers by developing theological conversations between his or her own ‘ordinary theology’, on the one hand, and the theological resources of ecclesiastical and academic theology, on the other. Students get a clear view of the wide canvas of Christian doctrine, including a range of different theological positions. This study of doctrine helps those who are seeking a form of Christian thinking and spirituality – and possibly ministry – that is true to their own lives, and takes their own hesitations and doubts seriously. Each chapter is broken up into sections and interspersed with boxes which introduce pertinent extracts from classical and contemporary theologians, together with short exercises or aids to reading these texts, or provide explanations of technical theological terms. Each chapter has questions for reflection and/or discussion, together with suggestions for further reading.

Recensioner i media

The "SCM Studyguide to Christian Doctrine" is pitched at undergraduate level one; an introductory text for those beginning serious study of theology. It presents issues in both the method and content of doctrine, and provides a rich introduction to the different aspects of studying the beliefs of Christian faith ... As well as being an excellent introduction, I suspects that this is a book that students of theology will refer back to each time that they start a new topic, or to remind themselves of some of the main aspects of particular Christian doctrine. The most significant contribution of this book, however, is the tone that it sets for studying theology. The reader is very clearly invited to take responsibility for her or his own learning and beliefs, as well as being encouraged to contribute to the rich and dynamic conversation which is Christian theology.'
