Overview
What is theology and how does one do theology? Author J. V. Fesko answers these questions in the first volume of the Pillars in Christian Dogmatics series. The Cathedral of Theology: Principles of Christian Dogmatics is a work of prolegomenon that establishes principles for theology including defining what theology is, the necessary virtues for doing theology, the relationship between God’s knowledge and human knowledge, the foundations for theology (natural and supernatural revelation), the relationship between faith and reason, metaphysics, biblical reasoning (or principles of interpretation), theological organization, the covenantal context for theology, the use of imagination, defining the boundaries of doctrinal truth and error, and the pursuit of beauty. Perfect for both new and seasoned theologians, this comprehensive book offers a clear roadmap for approaching theology in a way that seeks the worship of the Triune God.
The Pillars in Christian Dogmatics series is an exercise in the retrieval of classical, orthodox doctrines for the church today. Featuring well-respected theologians and scholars, the authors share a commitment to the authority of Scripture, the truth claims of the Nicene Creed, and the metaphysical building blocks that undergird the Great Tradition. Each book offers an in-depth theological study, using exegetical, historical, philosophical, and doctrinal resources to analyze major loci in Christian theology. The goal is to contemplate the triune God and his works and to show readers how the entire Christian faith intersects and must be encountered as a coherent whole.
