"Clearly written and well-outlined, this book would serve as an excellent college textbook as well as being accessible to educated laypersons."--Warren McWilliams, Religious Studies Review
"This is an outstanding introduction to theology that should become a standard undergraduate textbook. It's accessible to all general readers, and I strongly recommend it to all bookstores."
--John Kohlenberger III, Bookstore Journal
"Unhesitatingly recommended for use in Christian colleges."
--Robert A. Pyne and Gary L. Nebeker, Bibliotheca Sacra
"This prominent publication is most worthy of serious study."
--The Baptist Standard "Erickson's goal was to write a briefer version of his popular Christian Theology--with a view to providing a primer of and transition to more extended discussions of theology. As such, Erickson admirably achieved his purposes."
--B. Dale Ellenburg, Mid-America Theological Journal "Introducing Christian Doctrine is a worthy book on Christian theology to be made a standard textbook for a Bible school or college course on theology."
