Pilgrim Theology

At last... everything you've wanted to know about the Christian faith and its biblical foundations - but were afraid to ask, and in one concise, readable and reliable book. In ‘Pilgrim Theology’, distinguished theologian, Michael S. Horton, distils the theory and practice of the Christian faith into one volume, easy to access resources for reading groups, church-wide studies, college courses and even Sunday schools.

In this concise guide to Christian doctrine, the award-winning theologian and writer reviews specific Christian doctrines and locates them back in their original biblical passage. In addition to surveying past and present interpretations of the Bible sources, uses in-text ‘sidebars’ to show the key distinctions readers need to understand to get their heads around on a particular subject.

Helpful charts and tables highlight key theological and historical topics, and questions at the end of each chapter - for individual, classroom, and small group reflection, help you check on your understanding and go back over anything you think you might have missed.

Michael draws on his award-winning 2011 work ‘The Christian Faith’ to create this new ‘Pilgrim Theology’ as a summary and overview of the Church’s teachings in an accessible form for all Christians from all denominations and traditions who need a contemporary view of key theological issues.

‘Pilgrim Theology’ will help undergraduate students of theology and interested lay-persons gain an understanding of the Christian tradition’s biblical and historical foundations.
