Invitation to Theology

Theology

“Michael Jinkins has the rare gift of making complex theological doctrines accessible to laypeople and beginning theological students without 'dumbing down.' In this book he interprets Christian doctrine with the cheerful and joyful good humor that is appropriate for a theology that has to do with the good news of God in Jesus Christ. An especially helpful feature of the book is the way it encourages teachers and students to learn together to relate the implications of the Christian faith for everyday life.”

John Calvin's Doctrine of the Christian Life

Theology

“In this extensive study of Calvin's theology and ethic in their inseparable relationship, John H. Leith demonstrates the continuing relevance of Calvin's thought for the faith and life of the church in our time. He proves himself a good Calvinist by evaluating Calvin's thought in light of the Reformer's insistence that the work of all theologians, including Calvin himself, is to be criticized and corrected by the self-revelation of God in Jesus Christ as scripture bears witness to him. Leith's book thus expresses deep appreciation of Calvin and at the same time calls us to fulfill Calvin's intentions more consistently than Calvin himself was able to do.”
