Books by J. S. Whale

Originally published in 1960, this book was written to provide an accessible account regarding the essentials of Christian theology, avoiding an overly technical approach whilst also steering clear of superficiality. Comprehensive in scope, the text illuminates concepts such as the revelation of the Eternal in historic time, the problem of evil and the divine victory over Satan.

This 1955 book offered a new interpretation of early Protestantism and, against this background, a searching treatment of modern religious issues. The Protestant tradition stems mainly from Luther, Calvin, and the Sectarians. Dr Whale's summing-up of revolutionary genius Luther's acute sense of paradox makes this difficult writer easier to understand.

Christian Doctrine offers a clear re-statement of the fundamental beliefs of Christians. Dr Whale describes - and meets - the difficulties which the great Christian doctrines raise for us today, and makes clear how the Christian faith understands human history and the abiding issues of good and evil, life and death.
