ISBN: 0830815058 ISBN-13: 9780830815050 Publisher: IVP Academic OUR PRICE: $64.35 Product Type: Hardcover Published: April 1999 Annotation: In This Panoramic Work of Historical Theology Roger Olson vividly recounts the deeds and words of the apostolic fathers of the second century, the clash between the theological schools of Alexandria and Antioch, the epochal division between East and West, the revolutionary advent of the Reformation and much more -- right on up to the dazzling, sometimes dismaying fallout that has continued to shake Christians through the twentieth century. Through it all he highlights a common thread: a concern for salvation -- God's redemptive activity in forgiving and transforming sinful human beings. Evenhanded, refreshingly readable, impressive in its breadth and depth, The Story of Christian Theology is poised to become a standard historical theology textbook. |
