About this listen

Historical Theology 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.

This audiobook (Part 1) includes The Doctrine of the Word of God (7 chapters), The Doctrine of God (6 chapters), and The Doctrine of Humanity (2 chapters).

Historical Theology is an easy-to-understand textbook for any Christian who wants to know how the church has come to believe what it believes today. Gregg Allison's clear and concise structure make this resource an ideal introduction to Christian doctrine.

Appendixes and reference materials are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great Narration, but Not all Footnotes

The narrator of this book has done a marvelous job, with great, clear voice. There are some footnotes, though, that he doesn’t read, so, having the book and following along, I’ve had to pause the recording to read the footnote more than a dozen times. Aside from that, this is a great book and, while it’s to accompany Wayne Grudem’s “Systematic Theology” book, this one stands alone very well!
