ISBN Introducing Evangelical Theology book English Paperback 480 pages

This textbook offers students a biblically rich, creedally structured, ecumenically evangelical, and ethically engaged introduction to Christian theology. Daniel Treier, coeditor of the popular Evangelical Dictionary of Theology, discusses key Scripture passages, explains Christian theology within the structure of the Nicene Creed, explores the range of evangelical viewpoints on contested doctrines, acquaints evangelicals with other views such as Orthodoxy and Catholicism, and integrates theological ethics with chapters on the Ten Commandments and the Lord's Prayer. The result is a meaty but manageable introduction to the convictions and arguments shaping contemporary evangelical theology.ContentsPoemNicene CreedChapter ThesesI. Knowing the Triune God1.
