Editorial Review:
Product Description:
An ECPA 2003 Gold Medallion Finalist!The story of Christian theology has often been divisive and disjointed. Providing this companion volume to his earlier work The Story of Christian Theology, Roger E. Olson thematically traces the contours of Christian belief down through the ages, revealing a pattern of both unity and diversity. He finds a consensus of teaching that is both unitive and able to incorporate a faithful diversity when not forced into the molds of false either-or alternatives. The mosaic that emerges from Olson's work displays a mediating evangelical theology that is nonspeculative and irenic in spirit and tone. Specifically written with the nonspecialist in mind, Olson has masterfully sketched out the contours of Christian faith with simplicity while avoiding oversimplification.

The text is well written. The context is difficult to absorb unless taken in smaller quantities. Overall a good resource for anyones tool kit.

This is a useful textbook. Olson does a good job of explaining core Christian beliefs clearly and demonstrating an irenic approach to theology, without assuming that the reader needs to agree with him about anything outside of traditional orthodoxy. He does come across as rather defensive about Arminianism, though. It's a little dry, but not overly difficult. This would be a fine choice for a general theology course, though I wouldn't choose it for either a systematic or a historical theology ... Read More

Having heard and read about the unbiblical views of Roger Olson, I was hesitant to pick this book up and read it. However, after finishing it I don't regret reading this fine systematic theology book at all (though I disagree seriously with Olson on some issues). The book is nicely organized and very easy to read. Also, it is not a mammoth of a book (just over 350 pages) so readers will not have to devote many months to finish it.
I especially liked Olson's balanced style and exhaustiveness. ... Read More

Take out a quarter and look at the other motto besides 'In God We Trust'.
It says in Latin: E pluribus unum = out of many, one.
This book unwittingly, but as accurately pegged by a prior reviewer, flip-flops the motto and has that represent the
Mosaic of Christian Beliefs:
E unibus plurum = out of one, many.
What we have here is a sacrifice of Unity of Christian Truth to the Diversity of Academic Freedom and Theological License.

The Mosaic of Christian Belief: Twenty Centuries of Unity & Diversity (MCB)
Leaving aside that a book could be written for each of the interesting topics that the fifteen chapters attempt to tackle, and the incredible task of trying to squeeze 2000 years of "Christian belief" into 357 pages, MCB falls short from being a "handbook," as it portrays itself in being, which "seeks to explain to uninitiated" (p. 12).
The book raises more questions than it provides answers. MCB might be ... Read More
