The word theology can be a conversation stopper. When people ask what I teach, and I answer "theology," the most common response is a short "Oh," followed by uncertain silence.

Synopsis: (From Goodreads)
This introductory theology text helps students
articulate basic Christian doctrines, think theologically so they can
act Christianly in a diverse world, and connect Christian thought to
their everyday lives of faith.
Written from a solidly evangelical
yet ecumenically aware perspective, this book models a way of doing
theology that is generous and charitable. It attends to history and
contemporary debates and features voices from the global church.
Sidebars made up of illustrative quotations, key Scripture passages,
classic hymn texts, and devotional poetry punctuate the chapters.
The
first edition of this book has been well received (over 25,000 copies
sold). Updated and revised throughout, this second edition also includes
a new section on gender and race as well as new end-of-chapter material
connecting each doctrine to a spiritual discipline.
