The Rhythm of Doctrine: A Liturgical Sketch of Christian Faith and Faithfulness

by John E. Colwell

Publisher:

Paternoster

, 2007

Overview

Traditionally, systematic theology has been structured around the Creed’s articles—an approach that, though beneficial, still has its flaws. In this traditional approach, it’s easy to lose sight of Christian worship’s theological roots, and discussions become abstract.

John Colwell provides a short, inspiring introduction to a systematic theology built around the worshipful rhythms of the Christian Year. His approach is explicitly rooted in the liturgical rhythm, weaving Christian worship, theology, and discipleship into a seamless garment.

The Logos edition of The Rhythm of Doctrine integrates completely with your digital library. Scripture passages link directly to your favorite English translation and your original-language texts, instantly connecting you to a wealth of resources, and networked passage guides, word studies, and commentaries allow you to delve into God’s Word like never before.
