The Nature of Doctrine, originally published in 1984, is one of the most influential works of academic theology in the past fifty years. A true classic, this book sets forth the central tenets of a post-liberal approach to theology, emphasizing a cultural-linguistic approach to religion and a rule theory of doctrine.

In addition to his account of the nature of religion, George Lindbeck also addresses the relationship between Christianity and other religions, the resolution of historic doctrinal conflict among Christian communities, and the nature and task of theology itself. This is a work that all theologians and advanced students should know.

This twenty-fifth anniversary edition includes an English translation of the foreword to the German edition and a complete bibliography of Lindbeck's work.

a beautiful important history book
Format: Hardcover
What an amazing book! This book is the version with incredible photos as part of the history story. I couldn't believe how vivid this was when I opened up the book. I'd been wanting the book for a while, because so little is told of the enslaved people's history in this country. It is important for us to understand our past, and without books like this one we do not have the full story. Thank you to the authors who put together this beautiful book.

This book is well written, insightful and well illustrated.
Format: Hardcover
Very interesting, well written and illustrated book. I haven’t experienced this through the eyes of people other than myself. We all believe we are on the correct side of history but the truth is a very strong thing when introduced to you. The truth is a beacon to the feet of our country as we move forward but we have gone off path. Thankfully it is not too late because we are all human.

A book that will serve generations with the truth
Format: Hardcover
This is a beautifully designed book. It's narrative includes honest reporting of historical facts. The photos are very helpful toward getting a vivid mental picture of the harsh reality of being a slave in America. It does not a book that promotes negativity, it's just the truth as it appeared. It is very relevant toward promoting peace, understanding and humanitarianism for the ills that plague this country. It's worth the price.
