History of Theology

The History of Theology presents how the original Christian rule of faith which summarizes the content of Scripture has been interpreted in history by different groups, and by various individuals. As you master how this fixed confession of the given truths of the faith have developed in form, your faith in the triune God will deepen and strengthen. This book traces the movements and counter-movements of theological thought through the centuries from the New Testament to the present. This work is divided in three parts: Part 1 addresses the age of the church fathers Part 2 covers the Middle Ages from Augustine to Luther Part 3 moves from the Reformation thru the 20th century."Bengt Hägglund's excellent survey clearly highlights the problems and issues of each age, focusing on pivotal ideas and key thinkers who sought to convey God's truth."-- Prof. Robert Rosin Department of Historical Theology, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis"Hägglund's History of Theology offers intoductory classes a theologically and intellectually sound, well-designed survey of the literature and thought of the church...that covers the entire history of doctrine from the Apostolic Fathers to the twentieth century."-- Prof. Richard A.
