Napkin Theology: Small Drawings about Big Ideas - Paperback

by Tyler Hansen (Author), Emily Lund (Author), Jodie Londono (Illustrator)

Many Christians know that something mysterious and powerful happens on the cross--and that it has something to do with salvation. They know that God created out of nothing. They know that Jesus was both human and divine. But what do those various doctrines and concepts have to do with one another? This is what Napkin Theology is all about. It is an accessible, rich introduction to Christian theology, illustrated with simple, memorable drawings that describe the classic concepts of Christian belief. In reading Napkin Theology, you can peer into the depths of two thousand years of theology in the length of a CliffsNotes guide. This is not Theology for Dummies; this is not watered-down. We explain terms like creatio ex nihilo and "eschatology," because they contain truths that all Christians, and not just seminarians, should know. Theology is for everyone--so let's start drawing.
