Synopsis

An Introduction to Reformed Theology is a rich resource of selections from the preaching and teaching of John H. Leith, a well-respected Presbyterian pastor and Reformation scholar. A new pastoral leader could find guidance for a funeral service. A seminary student might discover how the Nicene doctrine of the person of Jesus Christ can give depth to sermons for a contemporary congregation. A teacher may find help from the history of theology to guide students in Christian formation and life. These essays deal with the topics of evangelism, pastoral caring for each other, and living as a Christian in secular society. The author gives practical applications with the deep conviction that faith frames the mystery of God's creation of human beings and nurtures them from childhood through the pilgrimage of life with the promise of a new heaven and a new earth, the hope for eternal life. An extensive bibliography of sources is included for those who want to probe further and study more closely. Anyone looking for a deeper understanding of basic Christian beliefs will enjoy this book.

À propos des auteurs

William P. Wood, originally from Johnson City, Tennessee, was pastor of First Presbyterian Church (USA), in Charlotte, North Carolina, from 1983 to 2010, where he served with distinction in building up a thriving congregation. After graduating from Davidson College (1965) he attained theology degrees, BD, ThM, and PhD in Old Testament from Union Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Richmond, Virginia. Wood was a student of John H. Leith and from 1998 to 2022 served as president of the Foundation for Reformed Theology.



A Presbyterian minister, Tom Currie was called in 2001 to serve as the organizing dean of Union Presbyterian Seminary's campus in Charlotte, N. Carolina. During his thirteen years as dean, Currie wrote weekly notes to his students, many of which dealt with the joys and challenges of preparing for ministry. Included in this book is a selection of those notes that offer hope and inspiration to all who walk along this path.
