From the Back Cover This abridgment of Millard Erickson's classic Christian Theology gives an overview of the doctrines of revelation, God, creation, providence, humanity, sin, Jesus Christ, atonement and salvation, the church, and eschatology. The third edition, now thoroughly revised throughout, takes into account feedback from professors and students and reflects current theological conversations, with added material on the atonement, justification, and divine foreknowledge. "Clearly written and well-outlined, this book would serve as an excellent college textbook as well as being accessible to educated laypersons." --Warren McWilliams, Religious Studies Review "This is an outstanding introduction to theology that should become a standard undergraduate textbook. It's accessible to all general readers, and I strongly recommend it to all bookstores." --John Kohlenberger III, Bookstore Journal "Unhesitatingly recommended for use in Christian colleges." --Robert A. Pyne and Gary L. Nebeker, Bibliotheca Sacra "This prominent publication is most worthy of serious study." --The Baptist Standard "Erickson's goal was to write a briefer version of his popular Christian Theology--with a view to providing a primer of and transition to more extended discussions of theology. As such, Erickson admirably achieved his purposes." --B. Dale Ellenburg, Mid-America Theological Journal "Introducing Christian Doctrine is a worthy book on Christian theology to be made a standard textbook for a Bible school or college course on theology." --Africa Journal of Evangelical Theology
