An Exploration of Christian Theology

An Exploration of Christian Theology, 2nd Edition is an academic textbook written by Don Thorsen to present foundational Christian doctrines and traditions. The opening sections establish frameworks for studying theological method, divine revelation, biblical authority, and holy scripture. It expands into the nature of God, the Trinity, divine works, creation, and providence.

The text advances through theological anthropology, analyzing the image of God, human nature, and the problem of sin. It addresses Christological themes regarding the person, incarnation, and work of Jesus Christ, followed by the ministry of the Holy Spirit, divine grace, human choice, salvation, and Christian spirituality. Additional chapters examine the nature of the church, ministry, and the means of grace.

This updated second edition expands its coverage by introducing dedicated chapters on apologetics and the future of the unevangelized. It concludes with eschatological topics such as heaven, hell, and practical application from theory to Christian living.
