IVP Academic, 2024
By Timothy Gaines

WHO: Timothy Gaines, associate professor of religion at Trevecca Nazarene University and co-pastor at Trevecca Community Church. 

HE SAYS: “This book will serve as an invitation to the adventurous joys of the theological life by first developing the virtues necessary for the work of theology.” 

THE BIG IDEA: This book explores the lives of key biblical characters to help us grow in our understanding of how to do theology virtuously.

THE PROGRESSION: This book is broken down into 12 chapters, each one examining a biblical character and what we can learn about theology through them. Characters include Moses, Isaiah, Thomas, John, and Mary.

“What I offer here is a formational theology approach to theology broadly.”
