"The beginning student in theology may feel overwhelmed by the massive amount of theological literature that has been produced during two thousand years of Christian history," writes the author., who intends this book "to help the student to find his way around the theological landscape." Theological Primer will do just that. Sign pointers in this volume include a glossary of theological terms, brief biographies of modern theologians, and an annotated bibliography. Supplementing these are two helpful articles, "Truth: Philosophical and Theological Issues," and "Guidelines for Theological Research, Reflection, and Expression."
