Understanding Doctrine by Alister E Mcgrath
'Christianity is not, and never has been, about finding the right combination of words! It is about encountering the living and loving God.' From this truth many people have drawn the wrong conclusion that doctrine is irrelevant, except (maybe) for theologians. Yet every time we talk about God, Jesus, or the Bible we end up making doctrinal statements. If our faith is to be coherent and if we want to grow in our faith, we cannot avoid thinking about doctrine. In this highly readable and much-needed book, Alister McGrath explains what doctrine is, why it is important, and what its limitations are. He then briefly examines three key doctrines to illustrate his points: the Incarnation, the Atonement, and the Trinity.Professor of Theology, Ministry, and Education at King's College, London, Alister E.McGrath is the Head of the Centre for Theology, Religion, and Culture. He is the author of several best-selling books, including Wiley-Blackwell's The Christian Theology Reader (4th edition, 2011), Theology: The Fundamental Readings (2nd edition, 2011), Science and Religion (2nd edition, 2010), and Dawkins' God: Genes, Memes, and the Meaning of Life (2004).
