In this book -- the most widely used introduction to Christian doctrine in Germany -- Wilfried Harle so distills Protestant Christian teaching as to bring fresh insight both to new students and to experienced readers of systematic theology. "Outline of Christian Doctrine, " however, is not merely a translation of Harle s classic German text: Nicholas Sagovsky has entirely adapted the original work to the needs and resources of English-speaking readers.
Biblically rooted, contextually sensitive, alert to philosophical issues, and relevant with respect to debates about the world as we know it today, Harle s "Outline of Christian Doctrine: An Evangelical Dogmatics" is an ideal contemporary theology book for both class use and individual study."
