Around a table sit men and women with distinct roles: The Interpreter, the Theologian, the Virtuous, the Philosopher, the Scientist, the Artist, the Minister, and the Historian. Each is ready to engage in a passionate discussion centered on God, his works, and his ways. Regardless of which role you play at the same table, you're invited. You simply need to pull up a chair and join the conversation. But how? What do you say when you take your seat? Where do you start? What are the "rules" of the dialogue?

A Practical Primer on Theological Method will help you answer these questions. This primer is not only a "how-to" manual for doing theology, but a handbook of etiquette for doctrinal discussions with other believers. This popular-level introductory text presents the proper manner, mode, and means of engaging fruitfully in theology.

The passion of Glenn Kreider and Michael Svigel is for evangelicals to pursue theology with excellence. A Practical Primer on Theological Method successfully engages the novice by treating theological method as a conversation between eight characters. On the basis of their discussions of virtue, science, or art alone, one would be required to grant this book high marks. But these wise and humble teachers have a great deal more to say. I cannot recommend this volume highly enough---take up and read!
