A Theology of the Christian Life

Description

In this book, theologian Christopher Holmes encourages readers to be more deeply captivated by the Bible's witness to God. He gets at the heart of the Christian life by considering some of the great truths of God's existence. Holmes engages with the church fathers along with Augustine and Aquinas to offer a rich, accessible account of the triune God and the divine perfections. He unfolds a program of spiritual renewal founded on the essential attributes of God, showing how we share in the life of God through imitation and participation and how the doctrines of the triune God and the divine attributes shape our understanding of the Christian life. Throughout, Holmes demonstrates the importance of theology for Christian faith and practice. A Theology of the Christian Life will appeal to professors and students of Christian theology as well as pastors and church leaders.
