Catholic Theology

Tracey Rowland introduces the way theology is done in the Catholic tradition. Using the Apostles' Creed as a structure for the book, she draws the various threads together to present a complete picture of the Catholic theology.
Rowland focuses on the origins of this tradition, its foundations, key concepts, eminent thinkers and historical development. She examines the thought of a wide array of theologians (patristic, medieval, and modern), as well as biblical exegetes and philosophers. This volume comprises of an astonishing range of material put together into a relatively small space and Rowland's overview of the Catholic tradition provides a coherent and accessible narrative. Rowland introduces readers to the tenets of Catholic faith, as well as it acquaints readers with the central doctrinal debates of the Catholic tradition.
