Was a pretty good read! I had to smash this out for a religion class about the foundations of Christianity. I found it a really easy book to read that had great examples and links to the bible and society.
I’ll need to read it again because the content was covered extremely quickly at uni and couldn’t unpack all the content within the book. I did like the chapter on God... the imagery of God as a man, woman, and analogies.
Recommend this book for people looking to begin their education about the foundations of Christianity.
I'd had this book sitting around since the first semester of my freshmen year of college when it was a textbook for my intro to theology class. I kept it for the same reason I keep textbooks every so often (and more so back then), which is that I usually think I may read them for whatever reason. I don't remember why exactly I decided to keep this one at the time, but I thought that since I still had it, I'd read it.
This book was a lot easier to get through than I expected. My theology class was one of the most boring classes I ever took, and because of that, I'm not sure how much of this book I actually read at the time. I was honestly expecting the same from the book now, but it was an easy read all things considered. It's definitely written in order to be followed by people with little or no knowledge of theology, and it does an excellent job of explaining some basic theological ideas. If you're interested in learning more about Christian theology, I'd definitely recommend this book. The authors are Catholic, so that's worth noting, although the book is written in a way that is trying to appeal to all Christians I think.
