Ten Historic Christian Theological Texts
Throughout history, these theological books have impacted both the church and the world. I chose these works in order to provide a broad scope of historic Christian thought, although I do not necessarily agree with every point these authors make. But whatever your branch of Christendom or denominational attachment, I do encourage you to consider these books for your theological reflection. In historical order only:
- Athanasius, On the Incarnation
- Augustine, Confessions
- Anselm, Cur Deus Homo
- Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica
- Martin Luther, The Bondage of the Will
- John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion
- Jonathan Edwards, A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections
- John Wesley, A Plain Account of Christian Perfection
- Benjamin Warfield, Inspiration and Authority of the Bible
- J. I. Packer, Knowing God
