Cover of Mark Shaw: Doing Theology with Huck and Jim (PDF)

Does theology have to be boring?

Not for Mark! Following Christ’s example of storytelling, he begins each discussion of a key biblical truth with a parable. Using familiar characters and settings from tales ranging from ‘Huckleberry Finn’ to ‘A Christmas Carol’ to ‘King Arthur’, Shaw covers the Trinity, the attributes of God, creation, providence, sin, redemption and more.

Following each story is a set of questions that brings out the key theological themes. The author then provides helpful commentary on these questions, as well as an in-depth discussion of each topic.

Whether you are a beginning student or well versed in theology, you will enjoy this innovative approach to age-old truths.
