Faith of the Christian Church

Reviews in Religion & Theology "Students frequently arrive at seminary with deep faith commitments but often with a alack of knowledge of the Christian tradition and theology. Inbody's succinct survey of theology goes a long way in providing students with the background knowledge necessary to engage in theological reflections." International Journal of Systematic Theology "As a first introduction to a wide range of topics, something to provide students with a framework . . ., it is a very good little book. I will certainly be recommending it to students new to the study of theology." John B. Cobb Jr. "This book can be recommended to a broad range of readers. Requiring very little previous acquaintance with Christian thought or the intellectual history of the West, it formulates Christian teaching in an attractive and convincing fashion in terms that are acceptable to a wide variety of believers." Thomas Jay Oord "Too many introductory theology texts are one-dimensional. . . In contrast, Tyron Inbody offers a multidimensional text that covers the major theological issues of today and yesterday. He converses with contemporary culture and the contemporary church, with the mind and the heart, with the ancient and the postmodern. And his writing is understandable. This text explores a variety of traditions and ideas, yet it retains a richness and depth that will satisfy those who want to do more than scratch the surface of life's biggest questions." Clark H. Pinnock "This is a theology text written with actual students in mind. Treating matters fundamental to life, the book is both accessible and substantial. An attractive introductory text."
