Introducing Christian Doctrine, 2d ed. is an abridged, less technical version of Millard J. Erickson's classic Christian Theology. Pastors and students alike will find this survey of Christian theology and doctrine a practical and accessible resource with both breadth and substance. Erickson begins by explaining what theology is and then progresses through the doctrines of revelation, God, creation and providence, humanity, sin, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the atonement and salvation, the church, and eschatology. This new edition adds pedagogical aids, includes a chapter on postmodernity, and features the pertinent chapter from Christian Theology contemporizing the gospel message. Reviews of the first edition: "Clearly written and well-outlined, this book would serve as an excellent college textbook as well as being accessible to educated laypersons." --Warren McWilliams, Religious Studies Review "This is an outstanding introduction to theology that should become a standard undergraduate textbook. It's accessible to all general readers, and I strongly recommend it to all bookstores." --John Kohlenberger III, Bookstore Journal "Unhesitatingly recommended for use in Christian colleges."--Robert A. Pyne and Gary L. Nebeker, Bibliotheca Sacra "This prominent publication is most worthy of serious study.--The Baptist Standard "Erickson's goal was to write a briefer version of his popular Christian Theology--with a view to providing a primer of and transition to more extended discussions of theology. As such, Erickson admirably achieved his purposes."--B. Dale Ellenburg, Mid-America Theological Journal

5.0 out of 5 stars Overall a good read.
Reviewed in the United States on 6 February 2015

Although Erickson writes from a Calvinistic view of the bible and salvation, it is none the less a good read for learning basic Christian theology. There are a few occasions where he tries to make a distinction in his argument about the use of terms and the providence of God and it fall flat. It seemed to me he was trying to make a distinction where there is no distinction. This is what he says in context to the plan of God for man " The plan of God does not force us to act in particular ways, but renders it certain that we will freely (the word freely he has italicized) act in those ways" (2001, p. 123). To me that argument falls flat and is a distinction without a distinction along with some other instances of that nature later on in the book.

He also presents a progressive view of creation, an idea which i don't particularly espouse. My main point is that he spends most of the section on that view, which is his view.

Overall a good thorough introduction.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Serious Students of Theology
Reviewed in the United States on 8 June 2010

This is a great one volume book on Christian Doctrine. It was designed as a Seminary Level Introductory book. So, because of that I must say that you want to be a serious student of the Bible if you order this book, otherwise you might get overwhelmed.

If you are serious, this is a great place to start for studying Doctrine. Professor Erickson gives us a well written concise book on doctrine. In 400 pages he covers what some need to take 3 to 7 volumes to cover. While this is a "short" primer on Doctrine it is not Doctrine "Light". He gives full descriptions, well thought out principles and challenging thoughts on all the major doctrines of the Bible.

You won't be disappointed with this work. I have had several students who have attended Baylor University and they have always told me that Professor Erickson is one of their favorites. After working my way through his book I would have to agree.

Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good quick reference, but Calvinist leaning
Reviewed in the United States on 5 May 2010

"Introduction to Christian Doctrine" is a great quick reference book for theology for anyone interested in brief understandings of the major views on major subjects with the authors input on which best fits the Scriptures.

Today many people are ignorant concerning any doctrinal position other than their own. In light of that fact it is important for Christians to understand other views than those they are accustomed to.

As Charles Finney noted:

"My brother, sister, friend--read, study, think, and read again. You were made to think. It will do you good to think; to develop your powers by study. God designed that religion should require thought intense thought, and should thoroughly develop our powers of thought. The Bible itself is written in a style so condensed as to require much intense study. Many know nothing of the Bible or of religion, because they will not think and study."

This book will help give you concise descriptions of major views of theology and assist you in reflecting on them.

I rate this book as 4 Starts because the author leans toward Calvinism while the book was supposed to be more of a neutral approach.
