Description
Mass market paperback cover has significant wear and creases. Some writing and highlighting on a few pages but most are clean. The binding is loose for one section of pages but is largely secure.
This unassuming 1958 mass market paperback from Meridian Books offers a fascinating window into mid-20th century Christian theological thought. Published during a period of rapid social change and shifting religious landscapes, “A Handbook of Christian Theology” aimed to provide an accessible yet comprehensive overview of core Christian doctrines for a general audience. While the author remains unknown, the well-worn state of this copy suggests it was a valued resource, with notes and markings hinting at a reader deeply engaged with the material. Despite its age and modest exterior, this theological handbook represents an important artifact of American religious publishing and discourse from a pivotal era. For collectors of vintage religious texts or scholars studying the evolution of Christian thought in the modern age, this humble volume holds rich insights into the spiritual and intellectual currents of its time.
