Von der hinteren Coverseite

Using the resources of the biblical message, the heritage of the church, and the thought forms of our culture, this introductory systematic theology text presents the core doctrines of the Christian faith, encouraging readers to connect belief with everyday life. The third edition, updated for a new generation of readers, illustrates theological concepts with current cultural examples and includes a new preface and afterword, resources for further study, and updated footnotes.

Praise for Previous Editions

"As a professor of theology in a Christian university, I am always looking for texts particularly suited to the nonspecialist, undergraduate student that communicate in clear, ordinary language but do not compromise on scholarly substance. I am delighted to find in Created for Community a textbook in systematic theology that meets these criteria."
--Douglas Harink, The King's University

"A fresh, creative work that makes deep theological reflection accessible to everybody. In a tradition too often tinged with anti-intellectualism, it offers the opportunity to help us worship God with our whole mind."
--John Ortberg, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church

"Stanley Grenz restores the balance between thought and action, individual and community, head and heart, reason and experience in this splendid and readable work."
--Robert E. Webber, author of Ancient-Future Faith

"With its simple, readable (almost conversational) style and clear explanations of doctrinal concepts, [this book] is suitable for new Christians and laypeople generally."
--David Parker, Evangelical Review of Theology

"A readable, practical, and thought-provoking presentation of the Christian faith. . . . The material is well laid out, with helpful previews and summaries, and each chapter includes a list of questions 'for connection and application.'. . . Grenz has done a remarkable job of covering the territory concisely and interestingly, and I hope that his book will be widely read and used."
--Terrance Tiessen, Didaskalia
