Roger Olson's Classical and Contemporary Introduction to Christian Doctrine
For the first time, celebrated historical theologian Roger Olson offers his own constructive theology, distilling decades of scholarly expertise into a concise systematic theology that is both approachable and substantial. Building on his acclaimed work in historical theology, Christian Theology examines the major doctrines of the Christian faith.
This introduction is accessible enough for seminary students while offering the robust foundation necessary for mature Christian faith and further theological study.
Christian Theology features:
- An exposition of classical and contemporary Christian thought from an evangelical, Protestant, and Arminian point of view
- Chapters on faith and reason, revelation, God's nature, providence, humanity, Jesus Christ, atonement, the Holy Spirit, salvation, Christian ethics, church, and eschatology
- A Christ-centered approach to theology that explains complex concepts clearly without sacrificing depth.
Theology, Olson shows, is not merely an academic exercise but a vital, ongoing process that glorifies God through careful thinking about him. This volume invites students and lifelong learners alike to think well about the Christian faith, guided by a trusted voice in the field.
