Description

This volume provides an excellent collection of primary source documents from key Christian theologians that show ways in which God has been understood throughout the history of Christian thought. Malcolm surveys the major features which have marked theological understandings of God throughout six distinct periods, including the early church, the medieval era, the Reformation, modernity, the twentieth-century, and the present day. She describes the historical contexts and theological relevance of each of these works, which have helped shape the various ways Christians have come to understand God. This book will be particularly valuable to students of theology by providing significant insights from these important and accessible texts.

Advance Praise

"The Sources of Christian Theology holds forth great promise for the art and task of theology. Malcolm’s collection of sources and illuminating introductions provide accessible and substantive forays into the central concern of theology — God. The essays offer a return to biblical and patristic sources as well as modern trajectories consistent with, and divergent from, those sources. They provide students with a basic knowledge of sacred wisdom so that they can engage intelligently in contemporary discussions. This volume will prove invaluable in the classroom."
—D. Stephen Long, Professor of Systematic Theology, Marquette University

"Covering such a vast range of sources with serious depth requires acute discernment. This volume succeeds admirably in that skill, selecting not only key figures but the writings that best convey their distinctive contribution to our understanding of God. The editor’s summaries and introductions are also of great value in providing accessible gateways to each reading. It’s a welcome addition to the required reading list in my Doctrine of God course."
—Michael Horton, J. G. Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California
