Overview

In A Handbook of Theology, editors Daniel Akin, David Dockery, and Nathan Finn select nearly fifty contributors in the Baptist and evangelical heritage to lay a biblically informed foundation of a Christian theology for students, pastors, and church leaders. This volume surveys six parts of theology: foundations (Part 1), types of theology (Part 2) history and geography (Part 3), Christian doctrine (Part 4), the Christian life (Part 5), and theology and culture (Part 6). Each author centers their theological topics in the Scriptures while also being Trinitarian, Christ-centered, Spirit-enabled, and mission-focused.

The Theology for the People of God series is edited by David S. Dockery, Nathan A. Finn, and Christopher W. Morgan.
