The Christian Theological Tradition Summary

The Christian Theological Tradition by Mark McInroy

The fourth edition of The Christian Theological Tradition provides students with essential theological knowledge of key persons and events of the Bible and the Christian faith, and of Christianity's multifaceted encounter with Western culture.

Historically arranged, the textbook addresses major theological themes such as revelation, God, Jesus Christ, Creation, salvation, and the church. The textbook deals with the entire Christian tradition from an orientation that is both Catholic and ecumenical, with the fourth edition including expanded coverage of modern Protestant Christianity. The Christian Theological Tradition has been thoroughly revised and updated with nine new or rewritten chapters, including:

  • A new section on the reception of the Second Vatican Council, including the pontificate of Pope Francis.
  • A new treatment of contemporary developments in liberation and environmental theology.
  • A new examination of the relationship between science and Christianity.
  • An entirely rewritten treatment of Islam that focuses on the ways in which the Christian tradition has historically understood and responded to Islam.
  • A new discussion of the New Atheism, with theological responses to this influential movement.

  • New textboxes on aspects of religious life, such as liturgy, prayer, art, moral teaching, and social institutions, appropriate to given chapters.

With the assistance of images and maps, key words, and recommended reading, this textbook outlines the methods for Christian theology and demonstrates the relevance of the Christian theological tradition for our contemporary world.

This is an ideal resource for students of theology, biblical studies, or religious studies, and anyone wanting an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the Christian theological tradition.

The Christian Theological Tradition Reviews

2021 Textbook Excellence Award Winner (College) by the Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA)

Praise for the previous edition:

I think The Christian Theological Tradition is the best introduction to the Christian tradition on the market.

Joseph Kroger, St Michael's College, Colchester, VT, USA

Endorsements for the fourth edition:

This superb volume introduces students to the places, forms, and agents of a complex tradition incomprehensible without an accurate version of its historical settings. The new edition is indispensable for instructors and students alike.

Robin Darling Young, The Catholic University of America, USA

This textbook is both thoroughly historical and genuinely theological; it displays the vibrancy and sophistication of Christian attempts to deal with questions of meaning in a way that is accessible to undergraduates and other beginners, whether Christian or not. The text as a whole makes a compelling case that one cannot understand the world today without understanding the Christian tradition. I taught the third edition of this book for many years; this new fourth edition is even better.

William T. Cavanaugh, DePaul University, USA
