Gonzalez, one of today's best interpreters of church belief and history, answers questions crucial to understanding Christian belief: What are the core Christian doctrines? What are the historical contexts in which these doctrines first rose to prominence? How have they developed across the history of the church? and What claims do these doctrines continue to place on Christian belief and practice today? This Spanish translation of Gonzalez's A Concise History of Christian Doctrine is ideal for church history, historical theology, and systematic theology classes.

Among New Testament writers, who is the best historian? Without a doubt, says Justo Gonzalez, it's Luke. Concerned about the particulars of people and events, Luke also gives readers the big picture, positioning the stories of Jesus not just in the history of Israel but in the history of humankind. Luke uniquely tells us the grand story of salvation -- then and now. Gonzalez skillfully highlights key themes in Luke's storytelling, including his strong emphasis on God's "great reversals," his keen interest in shared meals and their intimate connection to worship and communion, and his passionate underscoring of both the saving work of Christ and the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. Writing in a conversational style, Gonzalez draws readers into Luke's story with fresh overviews and rich details, showing how Luke invites us to continue his gospel witness today.
