About this title

Review:

"What I find attractive about this book is that it lends itself easily to the interdisciplinary research, because of its historical survey character." ― Michael J. Cahill, Duquesne University

"I believe what makes The Christian Theological Tradition a better text is the way that it was developed ...by a collaborative effort of experts who are practitioners in the classroom, and with feedback from students. The text thereby achieves both expansiveness and depth that others do not have and, perhaps most important, it is student-friendly." ― Joseph A. Currie, Fordham University

From the Back Cover:

This excellent introduction to theology, written by a group of scholars at the University of St. Thomas (Minnesota), helps students acquire a basic theological literacy in key persons and events of the Bible and the Christian faith, and in Christianity's encounter with culture at large;. Historically arranged, it also addresses five major themes of systematic theology: revelation, God, creation, Jesus, and church. It is accessible to students with limited knowledge of the Christian theological tradition and is an ideal background text to prepare students for further study of theology.
