Overview

Kevin Vanhoozer is an American theologian and current Research Professor of Systematic Theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. This collection of features five volumes exploring theology, doctrine, and biblical studies. Vanhoozer calls the church to a more biblical and premodern picture, one that sees every particular person, thing and event in the light of God’s act of reconciling the world to himself in Christ. Vanhoozer argues that theology is not merely a set of cognitive beliefs, but is also something we do that involves speech and action. He uses a theatrical model to explain the ways in which doctrine shapes Christian understanding and forms disciples.
