Michael Jinkins invites you to walk through the theological maze as you follow the pattern of the Apostles' Creed and consider the most profound reflections on Christian belief to be found through the ages.
Jinkins does a wondeful job presenting an easy introduction to theology. It is very approachable and usable for almost any crowd. He very roughly follows the Apostles' Creed to create chapters. Jinkins clearly follows in the footsteps of his teachers, the Torrance brothers. Highly recommended.
An Outstanding Introduction for Christians
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The classic introductory work for Protestants (Presbyterians in particular) for the last thirty years now has been Shirley Guthrie's "Christian Doctrine." It really stood alone, it was so well done. Now there is a replacement that deserves a serious reading and close study. Michael Jinkins' new book is a worthy successor to that enduring classic. The theology is trinitarian and incarnational--that is, it is in the mainstream of Christianity. It is also easy to read. Jinkins' book builds slowly in introducing information, slowly enough so that novices may learn and understand. This is a worthy book for Sunday School classes or for Wednesday/ Sunday night bible study groups. Jinkins' has produced a new classic here for those of us in the church and we are greatly indebted to him. Read and enjoy!
