Professing the Faith: Christian Theology in a North American Context

Douglas John Hall

Fortress Press, Nov 22, 1996 - Religion - 566 pages

What does it mean to profess the faith as North American Christians at the end of the second millennium? What is Christian theology as consciously crafted in light of the distinctive history, culture, and experience of North America? Hall marshalls doctrinal resources for a critical, creative response that stresses God's necessary involvement in an unfinished, dynamic, suffering world.
