<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Michael Jinkins invites you to walk through the theological maze as you follow the pattern of the Apostles' Creed and consider the most profound reflections on Christian belief to be found through the ages.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Are you intimidated by theology? Confused? Bored? Michael Jinkins knows it doesn't have to be that way. Theology is our critical and prayerful reflection on the totality of life, he writes. We all do theology on a regular basis, whether or not we are conscious of the fact. In <em>Invitation to Theology</em> Jinkins offers a knowledgeable, helpful and caring guide to walk you through the basics of the Christian faith. Following the pattern of the ancient summary of the Christian faith, the Apostles' Creed, Jinkins highlights the key doctrines of God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, humanity, church, salvation and resurrection. He cuts a clear path through theological terms, traditions and debates. And in the spirit of C. S. Lewis, he invites you to consider some of the most profound reflections--from the distant past to the present day--on Christian belief. Throughout this fascinating journey, the main road is always kept in view: The meaning and shape of our life together as a community of persons is grounded in the inner life of God, the Trinity, and has been revealed to us in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If you are eager to think about your faith, to examine what and why you believe and to reflect on how such faith can be lived out in our world, <em>Invitation to Theology</em> is the book for you.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Jinkins here invites us to participate in both the joys and the challenges of the theological task. With the expectancy of a colleague proposing a new approach to an old question, he draws us into conversation with the figures, themes and problematics of the Christian tradition. With the guiding hand of a good teacher, he reminds us that the work of theology should not be undertaken lightly. Students and laypeople new to the discipline will especially benefit from Jinkins's creative balance of 'lectures' and 'homework assignments, ' all geared to train us to be theologians--to better know and bear witness to the character of God.</p>--Cynthia L. Rigby, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary<br>
