Book Overview
This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. A user-friendly summary of the essentials of Christian belief. This short systematic theology is a refreshing alternative to works on Christian doctrine that are too large or demanding for personal or group study. Paul Zahl offers a concentrated summary of the whole Christian faith in three concise, biblically correct chapters at once serious and popular, scholarly and contemporary. Arranged around twenty-five theses that cover the core Christian beliefs, the book clearly explains the person and nature of Jesus Christ, the meaning of the atonement, and the life that results from Christian freedom. Encompassing a great wealth of knowledge in a user-friendly, easy-to-follow format, A Short Systematic Theology is one of the best resources available for church, group, and personal study.

Short, compact, concise, direct...

Zahl's work stood out from the beginning because of how he begins this theological treatise-- with Christology. For him, Christ is the center of God's revelation to us, the crux of our faith, the epicenter from which our thoughts and beliefs about God should expand. It sounds like a no-brainer, that we would discuss Christianity from the standpoint of Christology. Yet most theological works start with Scripture, Natural Theology... Or the question of whether or not there is a God and what leads us to believe there is... I like this approach better-- not only does it make sense (Why didn't I think of this before and write the book? I'm thinking... or, Why didn't someone else...?), but it is Biblical-- as Christ is the epicenter of the Scriptures. Short enough to be read in one sitting, you will probably want to take each of the 25 theses alone, so that you can think through (and savor) the ramifications of each.
Succinct reading, very helpful

This book does an outstanding job of breaking down and yet integrating Protestant theology so that it is understandable by anyone.
