This book offers a comprehensive and lively look at the Christian
faith by internationally-respected theologian, Colin Gunton.
Distilling a lifetime's experience of teaching and thought, this is
a book for those who wish to understand the meaning and relevance
of the fundamental beliefs of Christianity.
The order of the book follows the central themes of the Nicene
Creed, the manifesto of the Christian faith. Beginning with
consideration of creation and providence, it moves on to the person
and work of Christ, and then to the human appropriation of belief
and eschatology. A concluding chapter brings together, in a
treatment of the Trinity, a discussion of the divine attributes and
the doctrine of God that has been revealed in the process of the
book's argument.
No other book offers such a comprehensive, systematic and accessible overview of the Christian faith. It will prove invaluable to students of introductory theology, as well as anyone interested in the fundamental claims of Christianity.
