In "Essential Theological Terms", renowned church historian Justo Gonzalez provides students with accessible discussions of over 300 theological terms. Each entry in this two-column work gives more detail than those typical of a dictionary, introducing the meaning of the term, its importance, and how it has been understood in both historic and contemporary theology. These reliable discussions of the most common ideas and concepts encountered in theological studies will make this book indispensable for students in all stages of their education.
