God the Father - Paperback

by Frank Moore (Author), Dennis Landrum (Author)

Who is the divine being we call God the Father? If we have a relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, does that automatically include the Father? How does the Father care for us, and what is his role in our daily lives? In this volume of The Wesleyan Theology Series, Frank Moore and Dennis Landrum explore these questions and others in order to help readers understand the big picture of God's grand story and his great love for humanity. As they probe topics like why God created us, how God redeems us, and the ways God provides for and corrects us, the authors open an important window into the character and nature of God the Father. Each chapter includes reflection questions for further contemplation. The Wesleyan Theology Series aims to discuss Christian doctrines in accessible language that states clearly what we believe and why. Each volume is written by an author with a particular expertise who also has the ability to simplify and clarify complex ideas. The Wesleyan Theology Series is written specifically for the theologically curious layperson, student, or pastor. Topics include: the Trinity, creation, eschatology, the church, the sacraments, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, Scripture, sin, grace, salvation, sanctification, Christian ethics, and atonement.
