Systematic Theology: Volume 1: The Triune God cover

This first volume provides a foundational exploration of Christian theology, focusing on the Triune God and the church's communal purpose.

In Systematic Theology: Volume 1: The Triune God, the author presents a comprehensive exploration of Christian theology, drawing inspiration from medieval summae as well as modern theological giants like Schleiermacher and Barth. This volume serves as the first part of a two-volume work, laying the groundwork for a deeper understanding of the Christian faith and its communal purpose. The focus is on the Triune God, providing a rich theological framework that invites readers into a profound discourse about the nature of God and the church's mission.

The theological discussions in Systematic Theology: Volume 1: The Triune God are designed to reflect the church's ongoing conversation about its identity and purpose in the world. It emphasizes the importance of critical reflection and hermeneutics, ensuring that the church remains engaged with its foundational texts while addressing contemporary issues. The author aims to create a resource that is accessible to all Christians, regardless of their denominational background, fostering unity in the core beliefs of the faith.

This volume, alongside its companion, is dedicated to serving the entire Christian community, affirming the shared beliefs articulated in the creeds. It is not limited to any specific denomination, but rather seeks to enrich the theological understanding of all who seek to engage with the gospel message. Through its thoughtful approach, Systematic Theology: Volume 1: The Triune God invites readers to deepen their faith and understanding of God’s nature.

"...this two-volume systematic theology is a great achievement. Drawn from learning that is both vast and profound, the rich details and frequently exciting flashes of insight provided by this work confirm the stature of Robert Jenson among contemporary theologians..."--First Things
