Описание: This collection of studies in theology is written from the perspective of one from within the Christian faith, and seeking greater understanding of the doctrinal deposit of that faith. As a leading scholar in Christian and analytic theology, Oliver D. Crisp summarizes and analyses Christian doctrine, written in the form of traditional dogmatics.Beginning with issues concerning the task of theology, Crisp explores the challenges to systematic theology as a discipline, the uses of Scripture in theological discourse, and the reception of the theology of John Calvin. He then moves issues at the centre of serious theological debate in recent theology, the relationship between God and abstract objects in the thought of Jonathan Edwards, and theological anthropology. This volume culminates with studies that focus on central and defining issues in contemporary systematic and philosophical theology, taking forward a constructive theological program in dialogue with important figures in the Christian tradition, and engaged with some of the best contemporary theological scholarship.

Understanding the Trinity. All three major religions identify with the God of Abraham. They differ in their understanding of Jesus. However, one God in three persons is found throughout both Old and New Testament. Getting to know God is critical for understanding the Bible. Yet, it seems that many people have not studied this thoroughly, and have questions like:
Is Jesus truly God?
If so, how, or why is Jesus the Son of God?
If Jesus knew everything as God, why did he pray?
If Jesus is God could he have ever sinned?
What makes God the Father different?
What or who is the Holy Spirit?
This book answers all of those questions and more. When people ask, "Does Jesus love me?" The answer is yes, Jesus loves us all, but this love is conditional. The ways that Jesus loves us are from his own words and covered in the section Jesus-loving. How Jesus loves us was demonstrated when he sacrificed his life for us so that we might receive forgiveness and the promise of eternal life.
However, not all will be saved. There is only one way to heaven, and the Bible says it is appointed for everyone to die once, then face judgment. (Heb 9:27) So, there will come a judgment day, and whoever rejects Jesus will not have eternal life, because God's punishment will remain on them (Joh 3:36) The Bible also says many will abandon the faith. (1 Ti 4:1) This book will help you become more secure in your faith by getting to know God in the Old Testament and knowing Jesus through the Old and New Testament as the Trinity is explained.
There is a spiritual battle going on, and our eternal destiny is at stake.
Satan would like to separate you from God and one method is tempting you to doubt. Beginning in Genesis 3 when tempting Eve, he asked, "did God really say_______?" Since then, Satan has continued to insinuate we should doubt what God has said, or that he can be trusted. You may have heard, or even repeated some of the following statements, that presumably originated with Satan, the father of lies.
Why would a loving God let bad things happen to good people?
Hell does not exist. Why would a loving God send people to hell?
You do not really believe that Jesus is the only way to God, do you? That is narrow minded. What about other spiritual leaders like the Buddha, or Muhammad?
What about the people who never heard about Jesus?
When tempted by Satan, Jesus quoted the Bible to refute him. You need to be prepared to do the same.
This book is for everyone-because most do not study the Bible.
Seemingly, many Christians either just listen to sermons or only sporadically read the Bible. Others may read the New testament but skip the Old thinking it is not relevant anymore or find it difficult to understand. However, we must consider the Bible as a whole to fully appreciate God. To make it easy, this book is written so you can skim, scan or study like speedreading. It includes verses and references to Scripture throughout. It is like going through the Bible in chronological order. As you grow in your knowledge about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit you will find the Bible much easier to understand and draw nearer to God.
