Theology—the attempt to come to a deeper, more faithful understanding of one's encounter with God—is something to which all Christians are called. In Learning Theology, Amos Yong invites the reader to lay claim to that calling and to see it as yet another opportunity to love God.

Written for those taking their first course in the subject, this book introduces the foundational sources and tasks of theology. It asks what difference theology makes in our lives, how it can influence the way we write and study, and how we understand other forms of learning as part of the Spirit's leadership. Yong encourages the reader to see all of life through the lens of faith, and Learning Theology offers tools to more thoughtfully and faithfully perform that task.

Reviews
"Yong presents theology as work that should be both spiritual and intellectual. He makes a compelling case for the importance of such integration and the inherent weakness of theologies that neglect either element. Yong also provides wonderfully lucid introductions to approaching scripture theologically and understanding reason as diverse and contextual. As always, Yong writes with deep appreciation for the global diversity of Christianity and the interreligious realities of contemporary life." - Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology * Interpretation *
