The Christian Faith: A Systematic Theology

A Systematic Theology for Pilgrims On the Way.

Michael Horton's highly anticipated The Christian Faith represents his
magnum opus and will be viewed as one of - if not the - most important
systematic theologies since Louis Berkhof wrote his in 1932. A prolific,
award-winning author and theologian, Professor Horton views this volume as
doctrine that can be preached, experienced, and lived, as well as understood,
clarified, and articulated. It is written for a growing cast of pilgrims making
their way together and will be especially welcomed by professors, pastors,
students, and armchair theologians.

Features of this volume include:
(1) a brief synopsis of biblical passages that inform a particular doctrine; (2) surveys of past and current theologies with contemporary emphasis on
exegetical, philosophical, practical, and theological questions;
(3) substantial interaction with various Christian movements within the
Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodoxy traditions, as well as the hermeneutical
issues raised by postmodernity; and
(4) charts, sidebars, questions for discussion, and an extensive bibliography,
divided into different entry levels and topics.

Horton's Christian Faith has the great merit of never letting the reader " forget that doctrine is for disciples who want to walk the way of Jesus Christ.
Horton knows that the best systematic theology is a practical theology - one
that helps us understand the ways of God, makes sense of life, and gives
direction for God-glorifying living. He also knows that the best systematic
theologies draw on biblical and historical theology. May many readers therefore
take up this book, read, and walk! - Kevin J. Vanhoozer
