Synopsis

Daniel Migliores Faith Seeking Understanding, a standard Christian theology text for more than two decades, explores all of the major Christian doctrines in freshly contemporary ways. This third edition of the book features a number of improvements and additions. Migliore has added a list of books for further reading at the end of each chapter, the glossary is substantially expanded, and a new theological dialogue between Karl Barth and Friedrich Nietzsche joins the other three (at once entertaining and instructive) dialogues in the appendix. New material has been incorporated at various points in the text, including a section on Christians and Muslims. A new generation of students, pastors, and Christian educators, eager to better understand the rich heritage, central themes, and contemporary challenges of Christian theology, will find both guidance and provocation in Migliores updated edition.

About this title

Review

Cornelius Plantinga Jr.
"A book that manages to be at once deeply traditional and freshly contemporary. . . . Hearty, winsome, and mature, Faith Seeking Understanding sharpens the same appetite it satisfies. Migliore everywhere shows that he knows the difference between what is usual in theology and what is vital."

Theology Today
"Presents theology in language that can be readily grasped by the theological beginner. Hurrah!"

The Expository Times
"This is theology with a sure and sharp pastoral touch. . . . An ideal primer in doctrine for students."

Religious Studies Review
"A seminary and undergraduate standard. . . . Migliore has thoroughly recrafted the volume in his lively and accessible style."

Interpretation
"An admirable success. . . . Migliore hits just the right intermediate range to fill a real need."

Presbyterian Outlook
"Twenty-five years after it was first published, this book still maintains its status as one of the finest introductions to Christian theology in our time. . . . Outstanding for students and equally important for pastors who desire to sustain their theological skills or simply enjoy a good theological conversation."
