Beschreibungen
This book is a journey of discovery into the fascinating world of Christian theology. Elisheva Mechanic begins an exploration into the question of what theology is and how we do theology. She introduces some of the early church fathers and tells their stories and what contribution they made to the development of theology and the "great tradition." This book gives a wide-ranging survey of Christian theology and encourages us all to get to know God better.
Elisheva Mechanic has been in Christian ministry for many years. She has taught cross-cultural ministry, biblical studies, and Christian theology at Bible Colleges in South Africa and Pakistan. She has ministered in South Africa, Israel, Ghana, Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom, where she and her husband are currently living.

“Elisheva Mechanic has written an excellent initial resource for the study of theology. The question is: does it compel the student or reader to study theology in greater depth? The answer is a resounding yes. The book is well-organized, includes a wide variety of sources, is very personal, and relates to the church and its practices. The addition of study questions adds to its depth.”
