Introduction to Christianity (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1958, Introduction to Christianity considers the nature of Christianity as a life shared in an historical, continuing community.

Divided into five parts, the book is a comprehensive interpretation of Christianity as a people created by God's activity in history, with a focus on the proclamation of the Gospel. It highlights and examines the relevance of Christian doctrine to reflections on the meaning of life, and considers the significance of this at a time in which attitudes towards religion are increasingly ambiguous.

Introduction to Christianity is ideal for those with an interest in the history of Christianity, Christian theology, and religious philosophy.
