The SCM Core Text: Christian Doctrine offers an up-to-date,
accessible introduction to one of the core subjects of theology.
Written for second and third-year university students, it shows
that Christian Doctrine is not a series of impossible claims to be
clung to with blind faith. Mike Higton argues that it is, rather, a
set of claims that emerge in the midst of Christian life, as
Christian communities try to make enough sense of their lives and
of their world to allow them to carry on. Christian communities
have made sense of their own life, and the life of the wider world
in which they are set, as life created by God to share in God's own
life. They have seen themselves and their world as laid hold of
God's life in Jesus of Nazareth, and as having the Spirit of God's
own life actively at work within them. This book explores these and
other central Christian doctrines, and in each case, shows how the
doctrine makes sense, and how it is woven into Christian life. It
will help readers to see what sense it might make to say the things
that Christian doctrine says, and how that doctrine might affect
the way that one looks at everything: the natural world, gossip,
culture, speaking in tongues, politics, dieting, human freedom,
love, High Noon, justice, computers, racism, the novels of Jane
Austin, parenthood, death and fashion.
