Christian Theology

It does have a lot of words I needed to look up, but thats half the fun of learning!! Well written and gives a ton of good examples and informative.

Very informative

Quick delivery and the book is like new!

Great for seminary students. If not a seminary student and even for seminary students the terminology gets rather thick. Erickson has a book of definitions to compliment this one with the traditional agreed upon phrases within the study of Theology amongst world wide Theologians. One should not have a hard time finding it. Although it is a large book even more can be written. What this book does is look at the major topics in theology and the most prominent theories and who support them and who debate them. He gives a conclusion at each chapter on how to best look at the doctrine with the evidence given in Holy Scripture first, History of the church and new findings such as the work of students combing through the 1947 Dead Sea Scrolls. Much thought and work has gone into this study and probably is one of the best scholarly works done to date for the overview. Again as I said before much more could be stated and dealt with but the idea of this book is to familiarize the student with other belief and debate within the scholarly Christian realm.

This book is keeper. It is extremely well written and informative. I will be going back to it in the future. Highly recommend it.

The information in this book is spot on and really helps to understand Christianity (right and wrong theories, historical impacts, etc...) but can be a tough read just because of the way it is written. As you continue to read it becomes easier, but at first I was turned off from it just because of the writing style. However I have to read it for my pastoral training, so I dealt with it.

Just began reading this so far it has a lot of great information l.

First, let me say that I am a student of theology and love to study it. Second, I know a great book when I read one and though this book is great, it is massive and scholarly in its coverage it is NOT for your ordinary lay theologian. It is a read that will leave you well versed and incredibly informed, but it is not a book anyone will benefit from if you are only committed to a casual read. So . . . if you are just starting to fall in love with the study of God, pick another book, or buy this one and put it away until you are ready to take in all this incredible author has to say and challenge you with.

okay

Worth the price. Useful

Delivery time was as per stated upon ordering. However, the delivered item is slightly damaged at the side. Using this book as college study material.

Really good for researching and writing sermons and also for students of Christian Theology

This is a pretty good choice. I have a number of the most popular single-volume introductions to theology or systematic theology, and I think this is the best.
