An original work in systematic theology, The Christian Story rises from, and strives to be a resource to, the life and witness of the church and its leadership. In addition to covering the standard teachings of Christianity-the doctrines of God, creation, the fall, covenant, Christ, salvation, church and consummation-Volume 1 presents Fackre's introduction to systematic theology. This revised third edition develops in more detail the doctrine of the Trinity, takes up the issues of religious pluralism and Jewish-Christian dialogue, and offers a perspective on angelology. New appendices discuss inclusive language and describe the surge of writing in the field of systematic theology.
Gabriel Fackre (1926-2018) was Abbot Professor Emeritus of Christian Theology at Andover Newton Theological School. Well known as an "ecumenical evangelical" pastor and theologian, he was also a prolific author. His many books include The Christian Story (three editions); Christian Basics: A Primer for Pilgrims (with his wife, Dorothy); Judgment Day at the White House; Christology in Context; The Church: Signs of the Spirit and Signs of the Times; and The Promise of Reinhold Niebuhr (3rd edition).
Robert Webber in The Christian Century "The Christian Story should be a welcome relief to people who are weary of rationalistic theology. This is a serious book describing Christian history in story form. The people who will welcome it are intuitive thinkers who up to now have not had a theology written for them." Alexander McKelway in Theology Today "Gabriel Fackre is a good theologian and an excellent storyteller at the same time. His narrative interpretation of basic Christian doctrine is a fascinating adventure in Christian doctrine and Christian life." Juergen Moltmann --University of Tuebingen "A very readable, brief survey of Christian doctrine. . . . Possessing a literary skill that comes from a sharp eye and a good heart, Fackre offers us no 'story, ' but something better: a stimulating and informative outline of Christian doctrine."
