What Does it Mean to Live a Christian Life?

Is Christian life mostly a matter of distinct morals, or does Christian living include more than growth in virtue? How do faith and action interact? Is Christian living more about a mental attitude, or does embodied action matter?

In this volume of Zondervan Academic's New Studies in Dogmatics series, theologian Kelly M. Kapic moves beyond the "how-to" of living life as a Christian to explore the "Why?" and the "Who?" at the heart of the Christian faith.  

Christian Life questions the pressure of modern moralism and replaces it with a "doxological" vision of faith—where theology leads directly to worship and daily life is lived, first and foremost, in response to the love of God.

Shaped by the community of faith, especially through corporate worship, Christians are called to participate in this love of God and neighbor, You’ll discover that what is true of the whole discipline of theology is reflected here, in the life of the Christian: Christ is its foundation, Christ is its source of nourishment, and Christ is its goal.

-ABOUT THE SERIES-

New Studies in Dogmatics seeks to retrieve the riches of Christian doctrine for the sake of contemporary theological renewal. Following in the tradition of G. C. Berkouwer's Studies in Dogmatics, this series provides thoughtful, concise, and readable treatments of major theological topics, expressing the biblical, creedal, and confessional shape of Christian doctrine for a contemporary evangelical audience.

The editors and contributors share a common conviction that the way forward in constructive systematic theology lies in building upon the foundations laid in the church's historic understanding of the Word of God as professed in its creeds, councils, and confessions, and by its most trusted teachers.
