Theological Foundations REV



"The perfect book for introducing the building blocks of theology!"

--Br. Armand Alcazar, FSC, Lewis University



Authored by a roster of award-winning teaching scholars, Theological Foundations:

Concepts and Methods for Understanding Christian Faith is an introductory theology textbook appropriate for students of all faiths and non-faiths. This "first book" helps undergraduates to establish a solid base in theology, readying them for further study.



This edition has been expanded and revised to better reflect the diversity of today's college classroom. It encourages students to engage in a religious dialogue informed by the richness of their own experiences, beliefs, and practices.



Theological Foundations:

•Is appropriate for students of all levels, including those with no background in theology

•Provides a thorough overview of each topic, including terms, concepts, and vocabulary

•Discusses Catholic theology in a global context and in relation to Judaism and Islam

•Includes end-of-chapter text and discussion questions

•Features a unique, topic-specific "From the Research Librarian" component in each chapter, teaching skills that will be applicable to any course throughout a student's college career
