This introductory theology text helps students articulate basic
Christian doctrines, think theologically so they can act
Christianly in a diverse world, and connect Christian thought to
their everyday lives of faith. Written from a solidly evangelical
yet ecumenically aware perspective, this book models a way of doing
theology that is generous and charitable. It attends to history and
contemporary debates and features voices from the global church.
Sidebars made up of illustrative quotations, key Scripture
passages, classic hymn texts, and devotional poetry punctuate the
chapters. The first edition of this book has been well received
(over 25,000 copies sold). Updated and revised throughout, this
second edition also includes a new section on gender and race as
well as new end-of-chapter material connecting each doctrine to a
spiritual discipline.
Many believers accept traditional Christian sexual morality but
have very little idea why it matters for the Christian life. In
Faithful, author Beth Felker Jones sketches a theology of sexuality
that demonstrates sex is not about legalistic morals with no basis
in reality but rather about the God who is faithful to us. In Hosea
2:19-20 God says to Israel, "I will take you for my wife forever; I
will take you for my wife in righteousness and in justice, in
steadfast love, and in mercy. I will take you for my wife in
faithfulness; and you shall know the Lord." This short book
explores the goodness of sexuality as created and redeemed, and it
suggests ways to navigate the difficulties of living in a world in
which sexuality, like everything else, suffers the effects of the
fall. As part of Zondervan's Ordinary Theology series, Faithful
takes a deeper look at a subject Christians talk about often but
not always thoughtfully. This short, insightful reflection explores
the deeper significance of the body and sexuality.
Whether on the printed page, the television screen or the digital
app, we live in a world saturated with images. Some images help
shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us in
positive ways, while others lead us astray and distort our
relationships. Christians confess that human beings have been
created in the image of God, yet we chose to rebel against that God
and so became unfaithful bearers of God's image. The good news of
the gospel is that Jesus, who is the image of God, restores the
divine image in us, partially now and fully in the day to come. The
essays collected in The Image of God in an Image Driven Age explore
the intersection of theology and culture. With topics ranging
across biblical exegesis, the art gallery, Cormac McCarthy, racism,
sexuality and theosis, the contributors to this volume offer a
unified vision-ecumenical in nature and catholic in spirit-of what
it means to be truly human and created in the divine image in the
world today. This collection from the 2015 Wheaton Theology
Conference includes contributions by Daniela C. Augustine, Craig L.
Blomberg, William A. Dyrness, Timothy R. Gaines and Shawna Songer
Gaines, Phillip Jenkins, Beth Felker Jones, Christina Bieber Lake,
Catherine McDowell, Ian A. McFarland, Matthew J. Milliner,
Soong-Chan Rah and Janet Soskice, as well as original poems by Jill
Pelaez Baumgaertner and Brett Foster.

This introductory theology text explains key concepts in Christian
doctrine and shows that doctrine is integrally linked to the
practical realities of Christian life. In order to grow into more
faithful practitioners of Christianity, we need to engage in the
practice of learning doctrine and understanding how it shapes
faithful lives. Beth Felker Jones helps students articulate basic
Christian doctrines, think theologically so they can act
Christianly in a diverse world, and connect Christian thought to
their everyday life of faith.
