Dalla quarta di copertina
Understanding Christian Doctrine is a wonderfully accessible and lively introduction to the central beliefs of Christianity. Each chapter introduces and explores a key area of doctrine – such as God, the Trinity, the Church, life after death – skilfully taking readers through the main approaches to each topic. Unlike other textbooks, however, Understanding Christian Doctrine then goes on to encourage and show readers how to take a position on these theological issues.
The book is sensitive to areas of contemporary concern, tackling questions that newcomers find particularly perplexing about the Christian worldview, and discussing topics such as religion and science, and religious pluralism. To help readers understand this rich area, the book contains vignettes of major figures, glossaries, and self-study questions.
