Concise History Of Christian Doctrine

Justo L. Gonzalez, one of today’s best interpreters of church belief and history, lays out the answers to questions crucial to understanding Christian belief. First, what are the core Christian doctrines, and what convictions from the heart of Christian identity? Second, what are the historical contexts in which these doctrines first rose to prominence, and how have they developed across the history of the church? Finally, what claims do these doctrines continue to place on Christian belief and practice in the 21st Century? This book will serve the needs of students in church history, historical theology, and systematic theology classes in college settings, as well as seminaries and theological schools.
