Description
Contrary to what certain Christians suggest, there are no 'simple believers' who remain 'untainted' by theology...Each of us is a theologian, just as God intended. Consequently, the question is not 'will we be theologians?' but 'will we be good theologians?' So writes Stan Grenz in this introductory systematic theology text. With a passion for communicating to today's postmodern generation, Grenz uses the resources of the biblical message, the heritage of the church, and the thought forms of our culture as tools to construct a helpful theology that is biblical, historical, and contemporary. With the goal of offering a systematic statement of the faith in a manner that can speak to contemporary culture, he centers his reflections around the concept of community. This focus encapsulates the biblical message, stands at the heart of the church's theological heritage, and speaks to the needs of people in the world today. Created for Community retains student interest with helpful visuals, cartoon illustrations, sidebar commentaries, and review statements at the end of each chapter.
