Problems in Theology (4 vols.)
Overview
The Problems in Theology series gives those interested in contentious theological problems the sources necessary to cut to the heart of the debate. Featuring an assortment of extracts from the primary sources shaping these issues today, these volumes cover the purpose of creation, the nature of evil, the relationship of science to religion, and the Acts of God.
Each volume features a useful introduction to situate the student in the discussion. The general chapter topics are nuanced into specific subchapters with several excerpts from theological works. These develop the positions and arguments of a particular theological issue. Each chapter concludes with stimulating questions for further discussion.
The Bible is not without its controversies. In the realm of theology, specific issues can be viewed from any number of disparate vantage points. Finding the resources necessary to understand the issues can be a daunting task. The Problems in Theology series brings relevant sources together in thought-provoking volumes.
A very useful collection, judiciously selected and more comprehensive in its coverage than others in the same field.
