About this listen

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Historical Theology: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

Historical Theology: Audio Lectures presents the key pillars of the contemporary church and the development of those doctrines as they evolved from the history of Christian thought.

Most historical theology texts follow Christian beliefs in a strict chronological manner with the classic theological loci scattered throughout various time periods, movements, and controversies—making for good history but confusing theology.

This companion to the classic bestseller Systematic Theology is unique among historical theologies. Gregg Allison sets out the history of Christian doctrine according to a topical-chronological arrangement—one theological element at a time instead of committing to a discussion of theological thought according to its historical appearance alone.

This method allows you to:

  • Contemplate one tenet of Christianity at a time, along with its formulation in the early church—through the Middle Ages, Reformation, and post-Reformation era, and into the modern period.
  • Become familiar with the primary source material of Christian history's most important contributors, such as Cyprian, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, Barth, and others.
  • Understand the development of evangelical doctrine with a focus on the centrality of the gospel.
  • Discern a sense of urgent need for greater doctrinal understanding in the whole church.

Historical Theology: Audio Lectures is a superb resource for students and self-learners wanting to better understand how the church has come to believe what it believes today.

great chapter breakdown, easy to follow, conversational style, enjoyed the content except for the fact that some theological positions should have been refuted in the course of discussing their development rather than leaving the reader wondering

Great way to get through this book

A fine presentation of theology. The book is basic, and a collection of audio lectures. It mixed some historical context and a definition of different beliefs. Some chapters spent a little too much time explaining Christian beliefs rather than tracing their historical context, which is what I was hoping for. The book could’ve been stronger if the author had quoted Wayne Grudem less and shown a better variety of sources.

Thoughtful

objective clear truth unambiguous solid sound theology. unlike those guys that run on emotions like N.T. Wright and that group

great book very objective

While this is a great companion to Grudem’s book on systematic theology, it’s also a great stand-alone resource. To look at the historical component of so many theological issues is truly an enlightening and rewarding experience. I highly recommend the book.

Great resource!

I was hoping for more of a walk through history, and how theology developed. however, Allison goes through each major doctrine in a systematic way, defines it, and then usually gives a very brief overview of how the doctrine has developed over time. I wish he spent more time in the history.

more of a systematic theology
