A HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE

William G. T. Shedd’s ‘History of Christian Doctrine’ traces the development of theology from the apostolic fathers to the nineteenth century, highlighting the key controversies and the church’s doctrinal gains at each epoch. Shedd writes as a conservative theologian who believes that error, though persistent, never finally prevails. The narrative is both scholarly and devotional, showing how doctrine is the life of the church and how every generation must contend for the faith. An essential reference for pastors, teachers, and students of historical theology.
