"Here is a dogmatics in outline from a contemporary master of
the discipline. Trinitarian in shape, biblical in its vision of the
Christian gospel, catholic in scope, this is a lively, engaging and
provocative exposition of Christian teaching which will delight
learners and teachers alike.' John Webster, University of
Oxford
"The Christian Faith is not only a catechetical resource,
ideal for the classroom, but it is also his "dogmatics in outline",
a tentative plan for his long awaited magnum opus. I commend this
book to every teacher, and every student." Reviews in Religion
and Theology
"This is a deeply impressive summation of prolonged work in
doctrinal (systematic) theology." Times Literary
Supplement
"Colin Gunton...here summarizes a lifetime of theological
reflection in an introductory survey of Christian beliefs...The
virtues are significant: a command of the history of theology that
enables Gunton to draw as needed on the insights of the early
church, the Reformers, and Barth in particular; writing that is
always clear and often elegant; and common sense that avoids fads
and extremes." The IRT Bulletin
"...provides a systematic and accessible overview" Journal of
Contemporary Religion
"Laypersons, students, pastors, and theologians alike will find
this volume an expansive, insightful, and inspiring guide to the
deep themes of Christian faith, remarkably integrated into a
coherent and winsome theological vision." The Princeton Seminary
Bulletin
"Gunton pulls together an elegant and powerful systematic account of the Christian faith which is dominated at both a macro and micro level by the Trinity and a rich feast it is too." Richard Briggs, St John's College, Durham
