Studying God: Doing Theology provides a general introductory text for theological study. It begins by focusing on the reader's own ways of experiencing and talking about God, before exploring the variety of theological voices associated with the Church and the academy, and the ways in which the texts and teachings of the Christian faith interact with our own theology. Topics include:
*you and your theology
*doing theology and studying theology
*experience, belief, faith and practice
*Bible and tradition
*theological subjects, skills and methods
*classic and contemporary models of theology
*language about God
*theology and the future.

The Learning Church series offers a range of short introductions to some of the key themes of Christian theology, life and discipleship.This book will introduce some major Christian beliefs and values, such as creation, Christian hope and death in the context of the claim that the world and its human inhabitants are the work of God. The discussion throughout will start with the readers own experience and understanding, before relating insights from the Bible and the Christian tradition to this more ordinary and experiential starting point, and suggesting how the ensuing dialogue may develop
