Speaking of God: An Essential Guide to Christian Thought
Do you ever think you're forgetting how to talk about God? Or never learned how? Theology is nothing more--and nothing less--than speaking together about God. Still, a lot of us don't know where to start. In Speaking of God , pastor and theologian Anthony Siegrist helps readers recover a basic language around Christian theology. The sweeping epic of Scripture serves as the scaffold for this accessible book. In vivid and even humorous writing, Siegrist introduces us to scholars and pilgrims and traditions that disclose essential truths about God and Jesus Christ, as well as concepts like creation, sin, redemption, the church, and discipleship. By plumbing the works of theologians such as Augustine, Julian of Norwich, Antonia Gonzalez, and Kazoh Kitamori, Siegrist offers readers an introduction to Christian theology throughout the ages, emphasizing common threads of thought and practice across traditions. Learning to talk about God requires courage and humility; this handbook of Christian theology will help you gain both. Join the deepest, longest conversation in the world.

I am reviewing a copy of Speaking of God through Herald Press and Netgalley:
If you ever feel that you have forgotten how to talk about God, then Speaking of God is a book I would encourage you to read.
In this book it is pointed out that theology at its most basic level is simply people speaking together about God. It is an ongoing conversation, one that intrigues us and draws us in.
Siegris reminds us too that Sin is a difficult word that travels with a lot of baggage. However, just about everyone believes in sin in one form or another.
Speaking of God reminds us too that Being alive means we are not invincible. It means we are never in total control.
In Speaking of God Author and Theologian Anthony Siergis reminds us that Learning to talk about God requires courage and humility; this handbook of Christian theology will help you gain both. Join the deepest, longest conversation in the world.
I am giving Speaking of God five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!

A short and edifying book on theology. I had Siegrist as a professor and I appreciate how much of his teaching came through this book.
