Christian Faith

Michael Horton's highly anticipated The Christian Faith represents his magnum opus and will be viewed as one of---if not the---most important systematic theologies since Louis Berkhof wrote his in 1932.

A prolific, award-winning author and theologian, Professor Horton views this volume as 'doctrine that can be preached, experienced, and lived, as well as understood, clarified, and articulated.' It is written for a growing cast of pilgrims making their way together and will be especially welcomed by professors, pastors, students, and armchair theologians. Features of this volume include:
(1) a brief synopsis of biblical passages that inform a particular doctrine;
(2) surveys of past and current theologies with contemporary emphasis on exegetical, philosophical, practical, and theological questions;
(3) substantial interaction with various Christian movements within the Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodoxy traditions, as well as the hermeneutical issues raised by postmodernity; and
(4) charts, sidebars, questions for discussion, and an extensive bibliography, divided into different entry levels and topics.
