The study of God, his nature and his Word is essential to the Christian faith, and this one-volume handbook puts a working survey of it within reach of a reader who is not a specialist.

Paul Enns covers five dimensions of theology: biblical, systematic, historical, dogmatic and contemporary. Each section carries an introduction, chapters on the key points, studies particular to that dimension, books for further reading, and a summary evaluation; charts, graphs, a glossary and indexes add depth. A concise doctrinal reference for the newcomer and the seasoned reader alike, in a revised and expanded edition.
