Product Description The study of Christian doctrine is often considered to be the domain of professional Christian scholars. After all, what does doctrine have to do with the average layperson? And what does the history of Christian belief have to do with how we should live today? John Hannah asserts that an understanding of theology-"the distilled knowledge of God that is the foundation of a walk with God"-is essential for living the Christian life. "No one can walk with a person he or she does not know," he states. "Neither can we say we walk with God if we do not have an accurate knowledge of Him." This book is not a collection of dry and dusty theories, nor a debate about the hair-splitting minutia that so often divides us. It is, instead, an exploration and explanation of the essential truths of the Christian faith-truths that determine how Christians live their lives every day. It is a call to the church to again have God our number one priority.

Dogma, Theology, Christian Doctrine Our Legacy- The History of Christian doctrine written by John D. Hannah is a comparison and contrast of different trains of thought. What is the meaning of God's word, who God is, and the will of God. The presentation of the development of Christian thought through the last two thousand years is clear and respectful to the authors contrary views. Different aspects of Christian theology are developed through the presentations of the differing views. One learns why Roman Catholic thought and evangelical protestantism differ greatly. To a lesser extent Greek Orthodox. Reading this book an evangelical and Catholic will develop an understanding about modern liberal theology. The modernist perspective is a relative small part of this work when covering the 1750 to 1900 time period.(Albert Schweitzer, Friedrich Schleirmacher,Charles Finney),All in clear presentation. John Hannah developed differing perspectives about the Authority about the bible, The Trinity, The person, of Christ, The work of Christ, Salvation, The Church, and End Times. The book covers six time periods of thought and seven subjects, so all perspectives are kept to a couple page. A great read, a great starting point to understand theology.
Awesome! This is a must have for any student of the Bible. Hannah brilliantly summarizes church history and organizes his book around key doctrines. It is interesting, fresh, conservative and extremely helpful for spiritual growth. When one realizes most of the issues that Christians wrestle with today have already been dealt with, one wants to learn from history, so as not to repeat it again. Thanks Dr. Hannah!
