The Christian Theology Reader

The Christian Theology Reader, 5th Edition gathers more than 350 readings from over 200 sources spanning 2,000 years of Christian history. The reader situates selections in their historical and theological contexts, tracing theological reflection across diverse traditions.

The collection examines preliminary theological themes, such as the relationship between philosophy and theology, alongside theological sources including tradition and biblical typology. The 2017 edition added selections addressing world Christianity as well as feminist, liberation, and postcolonial theologies.

Each reading features an individual introduction, commentary, and study questions. The volume serves as an independent resource or as a companion to Christian Theology: An Introduction, 6th edition.
