God, Creation, and Revelation: A Neo-Evangelical Theology

God, Creation, and Revelation: A Neo-Evangelical Theology

A theology that is real, readable, and relevant â€” such is Paul Jewett's God, Creation, and Revelation. Writing from a distinctively evangelical and Reformed viewpoint, Jewett offers a general, systematic introduction to these doctrines of the Christain church: how we know God (revelation and Scripture); who God is (the divine nature); what God is like (the divine attributes); and what God has done (creation). / While upholding the historic Christian faith, Jewettâ€™s approach to Christian teaching is uniquely â€œneo-evangelicalâ€ in that he seeks to expound and clarify orthodox Christianity for twentieth-century Christians: Jewett purposely sets forth his systematic theology in light of scientific and social issues that confront the church in the contemporary world. Throughout the book Jewett also refers to literary masterpieces and to the churchâ€™s hymns, giving the reader a greater appreciation for the theological treasures in our literature and our hymnody. / The culmination of nearly forty years of study and teaching, this book adeptly balances the philosophical efforts needed in systematic theology with the biblical material in which Christian doctrines are rooted, and it covers well the range of theologies â€” from the early fathers to the Scholastics, from the Reformers to liberation and feminist theologians. Interspersed throughout the text are useful addenda and excursuses, which provide further detailed treatment of specific topics. / An unusual feature of God, Creation, and Revelation is Jewett's inclusion of eight sermons by Dr. Marguerite Shuster, a former student of his. Believing that theology and preaching must go together, Jewett has strategically placed these sermons throughout the book as creative examples of how to preach Christian doctrines.
