<tc>Essential Theology (L'essentiel de la théologie chrétienne)</tc>

The essays collected in this book fall into eight broad categories: the revelation of God; the attributes of God; Creation and Man; Jesus Christ, the Son of God; the Holy Spirit; the redemption of Man; the Church; and the end times.

Each essay has been written to be understandable and accessible to those without formal theological training, while remaining a useful resource for theological students. The texts contain few footnotes, and all Hebrew and Greek words quoted are not only transliterated, but also explained.

Unlike most systematic theology textbooks, which present you with the analyses of a single author in over 1,000 pages, this book gives you access to the theological reflections from 30 different authors in less than 500 pages. The 51 essays that have been collected in this book present themselves as a collection of orthodox theological resources for everyone to use.
