Pilgrim Theology: Core Doctrines for Christian Disciples (audio)
Overview
The 2011 award-winning publication The Christian Faith garnered wide praise as a thorough, well-informed treatment of the philosophical foundations of Christian theology, the classical elements of systematic theology, and exegesis of relevant biblical texts. Pilgrim Theology distills the distinctive benefits of this approach into a more accessible introduction designed for classroom and group study. In this book,Michael Horton guides readers through a preliminary exploration of Christian theology in “a Reformed key.” Horton reviews the biblical passages that give rise to a particular doctrine in addition to surveying past and present interpretations. Also included are sidebars showing the key distinctions readers need to grasp on a particular subject, helpful charts and tables illuminating exegetical and historical topics, and questions at the end of each chapter for individual, classroom, and small group reflection. Pilgrim Theology will help undergraduate students of theology and educated laypersons gain an understanding of the Christian tradition’s biblical and historical foundations. This concise tour of Christian doctrine is an ideal resource for examining the Christian faith and the Reformed tradition. Based in part on Michael Horton’s award-winning The Christian Faith, Pilgrim Theology presents the church’s teachings in an accessible manner, while engaging other Christian traditions and contemporary theological issues.
