From the rear cover

This revised and updated introduction offers a global survey of understandings of God in Scripture, Christian history, and contemporary theology. The second edition incorporates developments in theological research over the past decade.

Praise for the First Edition

"[A] fascinating historical and global overview of theology."
--International Bulletin of Mission Research

"This astonishingly wide-ranging and well-informed book will serve as an introduction to the doctrine of God for scholars of all kinds and for many generations of students. The story of the numerous theologians and thinkers within the long, rich, and varied Christian tradition is freshly told with great insight and intelligence. I warmly recommend this book for its thoroughness, scope, clarity, and fairness."
--William K. Kay, University of Chester

"I know of no better introduction to the essential elements of the contemporary discussion of the doctrine of God than this. The author surveys the biblical and historical materials, recounts recent European and North American responses to classical theism, and then draws African, Asian, and Latin American theologians into the conversation. An impressive accomplishment, this text is very useful to teachers and scholars alike."
--D. Lyle Dabney, Marquette University

"Krkkinen has produced a trilogy that will become a prophetic call for a new theological paradigm. In completing this series, he has created a work that will serve the global Christian world for the new century. He has rendered a particular service to the churches in the South and the East by challenging them to ponder their theological richness and by showing them how they can make unique theological contributions to shape healthy, global Christianity that is familiar and friendly to their varying sociocultural contexts."
--Wonsuk Ma, Oral Roberts University
