Ringkasan
This book is recommended to those who know the basic teaching of Christianity. This book have 10 chapters which explaining the Christian belief regarding orthodoxy from various theologian from the traditional perspectives until the contemporary perspectives. From my observation, this book did not draw a conclusion on each of the orthodoxy belief. In the meaning, this book is unbiased or stick to certain perspectives of theology such as Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox. It just discussing the view of several theologian from various branch of Christianity which did not affect the essence of Christian belief. For example in chapter 1, there was a debate between Karl Barth and Emil Brunner regarding the revelation and the Word of God. Both have a different interpretation. But at the end, both of their view did not reject the Bible as the Word of God and the revelation is as from God. In the other meaning, different interpretation does not means wrong. In conclusion, this book can be a reference to the reader who want to learn a basic theology regarding Christian belief. Although this book did not mention how theology had develop, it does help reader to understand the core teaching of mainstream Christianity.
