An Exploration of Christian Theology, 2nd Edition

"Thorsen provides a guide through theology that is helpful for those curious about Christianity and those seeking to understand the breadth of the tradition. Insightful and fiercely fair, this book is a model of generosity and faithfulness."

"Don Thorsen has created an accessible work that will be a valuable resource for all students of theology. Whether one is searching for answers to challenging questions or seeking faith, this uniquely ecumenical approach to theology will provide a roadmap. This excellent exploration of theology draws one into the practical notions of the Christian life."

"Don Thorsen has given us a gift with this comprehensive 'exploration' of the Christian faith. I have known and worked with Professor Thorsen on ecumenical projects over the last two decades. True to all of his work, he adheres to a set of principles, among them a commitment to theological precision and historical accuracy, as he approaches what is a complex task, even as he pursues his ultimate goal of teaching and indeed preaching, in logical fashion and plain language, the gospel of Jesus Christ. The reader--whether a student new to the material or a pastor or scholar familiar with it--will appreciate his depth of thinking and his translation of difficult concepts into easy-to-understand explanations. Perhaps what I find most compelling about this treatment of Christianity is its underlying premise that it should serve as a bridge between one's stated beliefs and one's practice of life, between studying theology (theoretical) and living our lives (practical). I'm sure others will find this equally as compelling."
