Description: "Christian Theology: A Brief Introduction is a textbook that shows students how to think theologically - how they can respond both creatively and intelligently to the issues and challenges that face them today. Gareth Jones achieves this by providing four key stages: highlighting the basic characteristics of theology and its relationship with faith, describing theology's resources and key elements, examining theology as doctrine and interpretation, and analysing theology's classic themes and today's new challenges." "By moving through these four stages, students are provided with a solid foundation in theology and equipped with the skills to address, from a theological perspective, a range of important social and political issues." "A lively, accessible and well-informed guide to the discipline, Christian Theology will be widely used as an introductory textbook for students in theology and religious studies at universities and other institutions of further and higher education."--BOOK JACKET.
