The Substance of Our Faith

Theology

“This book excels in two aspects. First, it stands out in terms of its structured approach, demonstrating a keen dedication to understanding the history of Christian doctrine correctly. The range of materials presented is extensive, encompassing Protestantism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Roman Catholicism. Second, it considers a perspective on the universal church and the practical aspects of an individual’s faith when seeking to understand the history of Christian doctrine. Sweeney’s proposal to understand the history of Christian doctrine within the context of ‘one church, with the church, and beneath the church’ resonates as the voice of the Lord in an age marked by division, much like today. I strongly recommend giving it a read!”
