Christian Theology 3rd Edition

By: Millard J. Erickson

Narrated by: Tom Parks

Leading evangelical scholar Millard Erickson offers a new edition of his bestselling textbook, now substantially updated and revised throughout. This edition takes into account feedback from professors and students and reflects current theological conversations, with added material on the atonement, justification, and divine foreknowledge. Erickson's comprehensive introduction is biblical, contemporary, moderate, and fair to various positions, and it applies doctrine to Christian life and ministry.

Very good

Didn’t care for the detailed account of unbiblical theology. It muddied the water a little in trying to understand the true biblical truth.

Great book and performance. Not 3rd edition?

I love this title, and I love the reading by Tom Parks. It is unabridged. I was reading along with the kindle book of the same title, same edition (advertised) and both unabridged. But the audible book missed a nearly 30 page chunk (possibly more). I've contacted them to see if it really is the 3rd edition. I hope it gets fixed soon by Audible, because it is excellent.

Outstanding work of erudition

Erickson's work is insightful, brilliant and thorough, and his treatment of every major theological topic is impressive, to say the least. His work highlights and reasons through every major credible theological position, and even some niche positions which I believed I was alone in holding. The only criticism I have of Erickson's work is that it lacks treatment of New Earth. The audiobook is organized and labeled, but a few chapters are in the wrong part, and even some contents are in the wrong place, which can be confusing. That is the only reason I took off a star

A magnum opus of conservative theology

Millards Christian Theology is a classic foundational work, it serves as the textbook for hundreds of graduate level theology classes around the country. It’s theology is primarily from classic Baptist framework. However, Erickson does justice to the thousands of different viewpoints on the systematic topics therein. It’s comparable to a Wayne Grudem counterpart, only slightly more accessible for the layman.

My “Go-To” Theology Textbook in Today’s Troubled Times!

Probably the best, general-purpose, all-around study of Christian Theology available today! I should know. I have a Master’s degree in Theology from a fairly conservative seminary. And this was our main textbook for all the “750s - Intro to Theology I,II, and III!”I’ve put the time in and looked at all the theological treatments of notoriously difficult biblical subject matter. Erickson is the way to go!

Although he thoroughly examines all sides of our theological foundations, Erickson always picks a side in the end. He will always lean to the conservative position and that’s a good thing. Another thing, there are many other excellent works available and you should study all of them! Finally, get the Audible of this book, and begin listening - really listening - to Christian Theology!
