About this ebook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fue una buena guia sobre la teologia pentecostal, donde se dan insumos para un metodo teologico oportuno. Ademas, se muestra el papel central del Espiritu Santo a la hora de ser y hacer teologia. Efectivamente, un gran libro, que toca leer mas de una vez para no olvidar su enseñanzas.
