But so is the story behind the specific doctrines that have been debated, defined, and refined throughout church history. In this book, professor Gerald Bray introduces readers to the history of Christian theology, the Trinity (our doctrine of God), and the Bible (our knowledge of God).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnlike other books on the topic, Bray’s volume is not organized primarily by time period or distinct doctrinal categories. Rather, it puts theology first and history second, following a Trinitarian pattern that begins with God the Father, moves on to God the Son, and ends with God the Holy Spirit. This unique approach offers readers a more holistic understanding of the development of theology, paralleling the order in which the church wrestled through challenging theological issues and controversies related to God, man, and salvation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aimed at non-specialists, not just the academic community\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnique Organization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses a Trinitarian framework to provide a more holistic understanding of the development of theology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical:\u003c\/strong\u003e Explores the Jewish background behind the development of Christian theology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWritten by Gerald Bray:\u003c\/strong\u003e An internationally renowned historian and theologian\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart 1: The Israelite Legacy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Christianity and Judaism\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: A Shared Inheritance\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart 2: The Person of the Father\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: God as Father\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: The Father and His Children\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart 3: The Work of the Father\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: The Reconciliation of the World\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Providence and Predestination\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: The Work of the Father and the Trinity\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart 4: The Person of the Son\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: The Challenge of the Incarnation\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: The Son of God\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: The Christian Theological Vocabulary\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11: The Son of Man\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart 5: The Work of the Son\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12: The Body of Christ\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13: The Death of Christ\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14: The Coming of Christ’s Kingdom\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart 6: The Person of the Holy Spirit\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 15: The Forgotten Person of the Trinity?\u003cbr\u003eChapter 16: Spirit of the Father, Spirit of the Son\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart 7: The Work of the Holy Spirit\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 17: The Presence of God\u003cbr\u003eChapter 18: The Inspiration of Holy Scripture\u003cbr\u003eChapter 19: The Preservation of the Church\u003cbr\u003eChapter 20: The Pathway to Heaven\u003cbr\u003eChapter 21: The Mystical Body of Christ\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart 8: One God in Three Persons\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 22: The Classical Doctrine of God\u003cbr\u003eChapter 23: The Eclipse of Theology\u003cbr\u003eChapter 24: The Trinitarian Revival\u003cbr\u003eChapter 25: The Challenge of God Today\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChronological List of Persons\u003cbr\u003eChronological List of Events\u003cbr\u003eGeneral Index\u003cbr\u003eScripture Index\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA remarkably learned, wise, and substantial study of the history of Christian doctrine.
