Theology Through the Theologians Selected

A new paperback edition of an important work by the late Colin E. Gunton. This book begins by treating the nature of Christian theology and the doctrine of God, leading to discussions on Christology, pneumatology, atonement, creation and the church. Professor Gunton's study will be invaluable for all scholars and students of systematic theology and Christian doctrine--and of modern theology in general.

Until his sudden death in 2003, Colin E. Gunton was Professor of Christian Doctrine at King's College, University of London
