This Introductory Text Provides Students with the Concepts, Skills, and Vocabulary Necessary to Succeed in the Study of Theology

Here, a team of award-winning teaching scholars has come together to create an introductory text that offers a truly unique and innovative contribution to the discipline of theological studies. This "first book" provides students of any religious tradition with the foundational skills, vocabulary, conceptual understanding, and research abilities that they need to succeed in theology and religious studies.

Theological Foundations provides the following:

  • Ten chapters that introduce the major sub-disciplines of theology creating a well-rounded source for understanding the discipline as a whole
  • Contributions that are clear, accessible, and steeped in content
  • A strong basis for vigorous intellectual and personal exploration of life and our relation to God
  • Flexibility that allows the instructor to assign readings in any order that fits his or her syllabus
