4.0 out of 5 starsGreat Introduction to Theology, Not Without Flaws
By M.Cash on April 30, 2014
Format: Paperback
This is the first book I’ve ever won from Goodreads First Reads, and in the past week or so I’ve won three other books. I’m one lucky dog!
I wasn’t sure how much I was going to enjoy this book (I couldn't imagine some book I won could be that good) but when I read the first few chapters I was quite surprised by how informative, enjoyable, and lucid this book is.

I found Jones’s work to be a pleasing introduction to the world of theology. As someone who has been a student of apologetics, my knowledge of theology was good but not well-rounded. This book cleared up a lot of questions I had about different viewpoints and definitions of several theological terms.

Jones successfully makes sure that the reader doesn't get too bogged down in studying God by including the occasional poem or hymn of praise that reminds one of the greatness of His greatness. She presents many of the arguments for a wide variety of theological issues that are important to understand. Although this is a well-done portion of the book, it is not without its flaws. While some would see the absence of a obvious author opinion as a quality, it makes it difficult to see the author as a person when she does not make any comments based from opinion. I am aware that this book is meant to be a more scholarly work, but for the average reader, the feeling of a connection or understanding with the author is essential.

Jones covers many heretical teachings of the church throughout the centuries that, while informative and enlightening in a way that helps us avoid these theological missteps, creates a problem where the reader might get bored and drug down through seemingly needless detail on controversies that have been long solved.Read more ›
