Just as the Church's creed summarizes what Christians believe, this book summarizes why they believe it. He explains what it is to believe and who it is they believe in. He opens up the context of the creed: the scriptures, the movements, the heresies, and the councils that forged its words, as well as the living Church still nurtured by its tenets. His analysis guides readers through a thicket of ancient and modern theological issues.-- From publisher's description.

(Episcople)

This book not only interprets fundamental Christian beliefs, but it also shows how and why these beliefs arose, promoting an understanding of theological reflection that encourages readers to think theologically themselves. It explores the ways in which major thinkers in the Christian tradition have shaped theology through the wide variety of their encounters with God

(Ecumenical)

Presenting two dialoguing essays on each of nine foremost theological questions, the editor provides an introductory reader in theology. Himself giving a discussion of the history and current state of each doctrinal issue, he allows the essays to explore and raise questions about their key elements and the contemporary issues confronting them
