This is the story of God. This story is the story of a discipline: theology. From the Gospels to the Fathers of the Church, from Paul's Epistles to Augustine's Confessions, from Eastern hermits to Arian heresies, from Saint Anselm to the 13th-century Franciscan school to Thomas Aquinas and his adversaries—Duns Scotus and Ockham—from the Lutheran and Calvinist Reformation to Vatican II and up to Joseph Ratzinger, the schools, doctrines, currents, and countercurrents of Christian theology are presented and analyzed here. The challenge was to present this long history in a few pages and to synthesize complex debates in a few key words. This work is aimed at those for whom theology remains unknown, a matter for believers, the preserve of scholars. Finally accessible to all, theology is not, any more than philosophy, Greek or Latin, a dead language.
