A Journey Through Christain Theology

The history of Christian theology can be a daunting field for students, who see neither the need for -- nor the relevance of -- rummaging through Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, or Tillich’s dry texts. Yet students pose lively religious questions, and where better to start than with the people who have shaped religious thought since the time of Christ - the theologians!?!

This people-friendly volume, a full-scale reader in theological history, offers a non-threatening, occasionally humorous entrance into central texts from the Apostolic Fathers to Mary Daly. Highly accessible introductions to six periods precede brief introductions to, and texts from, forty-four key thinkers. Each is followed by reflection questions for the student to undertake that relate to personal, religious, and social topics.

Incarnation, soteriology, spirituality, challenges to the institutional church, and sacraments are the key themes that re-emerge in each period. Some forty cartoons lighten the presentation while illustrating the points of the texts.
