Der Weg der christlichen Theologie

More about the book

Since its first publication, this introductory textbook has become a leading resource worldwide. Alister McGrath presents a new edition that retains the strengths and user-friendly style of the original while incorporating feedback from students and lecturers globally. The updated edition features significant new historical sections on Byzantine theology, Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity, and Third World Christianity. It also includes major theological updates, such as the development of theology, twentieth-century ecclesiology, sacramental debates, and the relationship between Christian theology and the natural sciences. Key chapters on Christianity and World Religions and Last Things have been rewritten and expanded. Additionally, a new section outlines theological resources available online, and all bibliographies have been updated and organized into smaller sections. Citations are now sourced and linked to readings in the companion Christian Theology Reader, and the glossary has been expanded. Drawing on years of teaching experience, McGrath has crafted an exceptional textbook that will be embraced by both professors and students.
