Felker Jones' purpose is to devise a theology of the body that is compatible with the feminist program. She argues that the doctrine of the resurrection of the body is central to this undertaking. She offers close readings of Augustine and Calvin in aid of her effort to find a way of speaking about body and soul that is consonant with the doctrine of bodily resurrection. Felker Jones concludes by inviting us to imagine a way for the gendered body to be redeemed without the erasure of difference.

Who is the mysterious Holy Spirit, and why does it matter for the Christian life? How do we know when the Spirit is working? This book introduces the doctrine of the Holy Spirit in the Wesleyan theological tradition and within the greater church. It covers key biblical bases for thinking about the Spirit, and it seeks to inspire confidence in the Spirit's power.

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.

Le titre de ce livre t moigne de mon conviction que la doctrine chr tienne est intimement li e une pratique fid le de la vie chr tienne. Ce livre pr sente les bases de la doctrine chr tienne, mais s'il ne la mettons pas en pratique, le livre sera d nu de sens. La doctrine chr tienne d termine l'identit et les actes des chr tiens. Certes, la notion de doctrine implique la foi, mais la doctrine repr sente bien plus qu'une simple foi en certaines choses. Le mot doctrine rev t des connotations froides et dures. Plusieurs personnes pensent qu'il s'agit d'une question de rigidit et de contr le ou qu'il s'agit d'un domaine de connaissance inaccessible, hors de la port e du chr tien lambda. Mon objectif est de contribuer r habiliter le terme doctrine travers ce livre, d montrer qu'un bon enseignement chr tien peut nous aider grandir dans la foi, faire preuve d'amour et envisager l'avenir avec espoir.-Tir de l'introduction
