Theology for Ordinary People by Bruce L Shelley

Theology for Ordinary People by Bruce L Shelley

In our everyday lives, says Bruce Shelley, theology is nothing more than the beliefs Christians use to describe truth. It's necessary, important and accessible to all of us. To prove his point, the popular author of Christian History in Plain Language lays out the basic beliefs of our faith in an appealing, conversational style. Throughout these chapters, Shelley says, I have tried to imagine a long walk with a friend, new Christian or non-Christian, who jas just asked me, 'What do you mean by the Christian faith?' Here is the answer, including the Garden and the Fall, the cross, God the Trinity and the mystery of suffering in our world. At the end of this walk, you will know for certain: This is an extraordinary book for ordinary people.

Fuller Theological School, as well as a Ph.D. a graduate of the University of Iowa The Church: God's People, Evangelicalism in America, and The Cross and the Flame are among his past works.
