Christian Doctrine by Mike Higton

Christian Doctrine by Mike Higton

Providing an accessible one-volume guide to Christian doctrine, this is a thorough re-write of the first edition. Since the original was published, many students and teachers of doctrine, in theological colleges and beyond, have been learning to take more seriously the global context of their work, and to recognise the difference made by facets of their identities and social locations like race, class, gender, and disability. In this edition, Mike Higton seeks to do justice to this learning, and invites readers to understand doctrine as an unfinished conversation between many different voices. Fully updated for clarity and yet retaining its role as a rigorous introduction to its subject, the book includes new ‘interruptions’, which introduce voices that question the book’s arguments and offer new directions for readers to pursue.

Blogpost: Christian doctrine: "an invitation to think about the love of God..." An interview with Mike Higton

"In this wonderful book, Mike invites us to explore Christian Doctrine, without ever imagining we can fully understand God and God's ways with usThe beauty and mysteries of the Christian faith are made accessible, as are perspectives often overlooked in such texts. In this book, Christian doctrine is brought into dialogue with some of our most urgent questions and concerns, proving the ongoing importance of theology for our human experience." -- Selina Stone
