<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Here, McClendon defines doctrine as an essential practice of the church, not a set of propositions to believe. The author rejects the prevailing assumptions stemming from the rationalism of the Enlightenment, and redefines theology as a discipline within the context of particular religious beliefs and practices of concrete believing communities. McClendon ties the reading of Scripture to the community's understanding of itself and its own mission.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Christian doctrine, McClendon tells us, is no laundry list of propositions to be believed, but is rather an essential practice of the church. Doctrines are those shared convictions which the church must teach and live out if it is to be the church.
