Fundamental Theology
Author(s): Matthew L. Becker
Introducing university students to the academic discipline of Christian theology, this book serves as an orientation to "fundamental theology" from a Protestant perspective by addressing issues that are preliminary and foundational to the discipline in the context of a liberal arts university. The book also sets forth what has traditionally been called a "theological encyclopedia", that is, a description of the parts of Christian theology that together form the discipline into a unified academic subject. Finally, the book examines the relation of Christian theology to the arts and sciences within the university and underscores the need for critical and positive interaction with these other academic disciplines.
Review(s):
“Fundamental Theology presents an accessible, learned, and persuasive case for Christian theology as a university discipline and as a member of the liberal arts … Becker articulates theology in a way that attends to the integrity of its own resources and traditions while being open to the manifold interests and insights of the world. He sees connections between theological and non-theological interpretations of the Bible … Becker’s book is an excellent introductory work. It fulfills important needs in undergraduate education and I commend its wide use as a beginning text as well as uniformly valuable reference work.” - Lutheran Quarterly
