Systematic Theology
Overview
In this concise, one-volume systematic theology, celebrated scholar Anthony Thiselton covers the spectrum of Christian doctrine with an eye for practical Christian discipleship. Written with students and ministers in mind, this book is readable and accessible. Rather than setting out an abstract system, Thiselton explores theology as a living, organic whole. The book includes biblical foundations, historical thought, contemporary writers, and practical implications. Expertly incorporating biblical exegesis, philosophy, conceptual grammar, and hermeneutics, this work is a succinct multidisciplinary systematic theology.
