A Leopard-Skin Hat by Anne Serre

A Leopard-Skin Hat by Anne Serre

Far from being solely an academic enterprise, the practice of theology can pique the interest of anyone who wonders about the meaning of life. This introduction to Christian theology - exploring its basic concepts, confessional content, and history - emphasizes the relevance of the key convictions of Christian faith to the challenges of today's world. Part I introduces the project of Christian theology and sketches the critical context that confronts Christian thought and practice today. Part I offers a survey of the key doctrinal themes of Christian theology, including revelation, the triune God, and the world as creation, identifying their biblical basis and the highlights of their historical development before giving a systematic evaluation of each theme. Part I provides an overview of Christian theology from the early church to the present. Thoroughly revised and updated, the second edition of An Introduction to Christian Theology includes a range of new visual and pedagogical features, including images, diagrams, tables, and more than eighty text boxes, which call attention to special emphases, observations, and applications to help deepen student engagement.

"Genuinely original—and, often, very quietly so" -- Parul Sehgal - The New York Times
"Wry, unconventional." -- The New Yorker
"Putting down one of Anne Serre’s books is like coming up for air." -- Lucie Elven - London Review of Books
"I love Anne Serre, translated by Mark Hutchinson, for the rippling unreality of her prose. Reading her is like watching a mirage flicker in and out of focus." -- Merve Emre
"Readers will be moved by this probing story about the unknowability of others." -- Publishers Weekly
"Exuberantly anti-realist and avowedly fictional...The story of Fanny and the Narrator is a story about our impulse to understand one another and about the way in which unknowability is what makes someone interesting." -- Meghan Racklin - The Brooklyn Rail

The author of fourteen novels and short story books, Anne Serre was born in 1960. Her work has been acclaimed here as “hypnotic, enchanting” (Publishers Weekly), “tight and fabulist” (Full Stop), and ”strange and beguiling” (Kirkus). Among Mark Hutchinson’s many translations are René Char’s Hypnos: Notes from the French Resistance and The Inventors and Other Poems.
