Brian Rosner has put together here a primer on the ways theology can be of practical value both to fledgling Christians and to those who’ve been in the faith for so long that they’ve lost sight of the basics. The six chapters each address a particular theological conundrum, referencing a respected Christian thinker in order to offer possible solutions.
