About this ebook

Coordinated by Serene Jones of Yale Divinity School and Paul Lakeland of Fairfield University, fifty of North America's top teaching theologians (members of the Workgroup on Constructive Christian Theology) have devised a text that allows students to experience the deeper point of theological questions, to delve into the fractures and disagreements that figured in the development of traditional Christian doctrines, and to sample the diverse and conflicting theological voices that vie for allegiance today.

Ratings and reviews

I paid over half price for a digital download that I should have been able to transfer to a pdf document. That would allow me to put it into dvd or cd and keep for posterity not to mention to study in 2 different ways. It turns out that even though you would be paying for the paper and the ink more than half the cost in addition to the access cost, they don't make it available. Not everyone can look at a screen for hours. I tried it and I get serious vision dysfunction including difficulty in focusing or seeing at a distance so I opted out. This was poorly though out. It should be available and printable as a digital document. Just one opinion.
