Christian dogmatics : an introduction / Cornelis van der Kooi and Gijsbert van den Brink ; translated by Reinder Bruinsma with James D. Bratt. - xiv, 806 pages ; 24 cm.

Dogmatics as disciplined thinking about God : definitions and aims -- Is there a God? : prolegomena -- God as three in one : the doctrine of the Trinity -- "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" : the names, attributes, and essence of God -- Encountering God : the doctrine of revelation -- Existence given : the doctrine of creation -- Human beings and the image of God : theological anthropology -- Existence ravaged : sin and evil -- Israel, the raw nerve in Christian theology : the doctrine of the covenant -- The person of Jesus Christ : Christology -- "What a Friend We Have In Jesus" : Jesus Christ as victor, redeemer and mediator -- Holy Spirit, giver of life : pneumatology -- The book of God and of humans : the doctrine of scripture -- Renewal of God's community : ecclesiology -- Renewal of the human being : justification and transformation -- Renewal of God's world : eschatology.
A fresh, inviting text on the content of Christian faith in our contemporary context, this one-volume systematic theology presents an accessible, orthodox overview of the Christian faith for students, teachers, pastors, and serious lay readers. Cornelis van der Kooi and Gijsbert van den Brink not only cover all the traditional themes-creation, sin, Jesus Christ, Scripture, and so on-but also relate those classical themes to contemporary developments like Pentecostalism, postfoundationalism, and evolutionary theory. Consisting of sixteen chapters, the book is ideal for classroom use. Each chapter begins with engaging questions and a statement of learning goals and concludes with a list of recommended further reading. Written in a student-friendly tone and style and expertly translated and edited, van der Kooi and van den Brink's Christian Dogmatics splendidly displays the real, practical relevance of theology to the complexities of our world today.
