Synopsis Faith Seeking Understanding by : Daniel L. Migliore

Daniel Migliore's Faith Seeking Understanding has been a standard introduction to Christian theology for more than a decade. The book's presentation of traditional doctrine in freshly contemporary ways, its concern to hear and critically engage new voices in theology, and its creative and accessible style have kept it one of the most stimulating, balanced, and readable guides to theology available. This second edition of Faith Seeking Understanding features improvements from cover to cover. Besides updating and expanding the entire text of the book, Migliore has added two completely new chapters. The first, "Confessing Jesus Christ in Context," explores the unique contributions to Christian theology made by recent theologians working in the African American, Asian American, Latin American, Hispanic, feminist, womanist, and mujerista traditions. The second new chapter, "The Finality of Jesus Christ and Religious Pluralism," addresses the growing interest in the relationship of Christianity to other religions and their adherents. Migliore's three delightful theological dialogues are followed by a new appendix, an extensive glossary of theological terms, making the book even more useful to students seeking to understand the history, themes, and challenges of Christian belief.

Synopsis Faith Seeking Understanding by : Matthew Baker

"This volume presents various writings of Fr Matthew Baker: scholarly articles, sermons, interviews, and personal correspondence. Fr Matthew was poised to become of the the leading experts on Fr Georges Florovsky before his untimely death. This collection bears witness to Fr Matthew's broad theological vision, which draws upon the tradition of the Church Fathers but also brings them into dialogue with contemporary concerns and problems, the much-discussed "neo-patristic synthesis" of Fr Georges Florovsky"--

Synopsis On the Trinity by : Saint Augustine of Hippo

The following dissertation concerning the Trinity, as the reader ought to be informed, has been written in order to guard against the sophistries of those who disdain to begin with faith, and are deceived by a crude and perverse love of reason. Now one class of such men endeavor to transfer to things incorporeal and spiritual the ideas they have formed, whether through experience of the bodily senses, or by natural human wit and diligent quickness, or by the aid of art, from things corporeal; so as to seek to measure and conceive of the former by the latter.
