Overview
This introductory theology text helps students articulate basic Christian doctrines, think theologically so they can act Christianly in a diverse world, and connect Christian thought to their everyday life of faith.
Written from a solidly evangelical yet ecumenically aware perspective, this book models a way of doing theology that is generous and charitable. It attends to history and contemporary debates and features voices from the global church. Sidebars made up of illustrative quotations, key Scripture passages, classic hymn texts, and devotional poetry punctuate the chapters.
The first edition of this book has been well received (over 25,000 copies sold). The second edition has been updated and revised throughout and includes a new section on gender and race as well as new end-of-chapter material connecting each doctrine to a spiritual discipline.

Brilliant Text by a Scholar and Practitioner
Nicholas C. - 6 years 1 month agoJones offers in this text a concise and thorough review of essential Christian doctrine fitting for the novice, the scholar, and anyone in-between. But what stands out is her commitment to connect doctrine with the life of the disciple and the work of the Church. She is generous in her positions, allowing room for various opinions where needed while remaining grounded in the biblical and historical beliefs of Christianity. Highly recommended for small groups, introductory courses, and leisure reading.
