In Modes of Faith, historian and theologian Jaroslav Pelikan offers a sweeping narrative of the development of Christian doctrine from the early church through the modern era. Pelikan explains how doctrines that once seemed fanciful or marginal became central to Christian belief and practice, showing that “what the Church believes,” at any given time, is deeply influenced by “how the Church thinks.” Covering major doctrinal developments such as the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Atonement, and the Resurrection, Pelikan integrates theological insight with historical narrative to illuminate the dynamic and often surprising processes by which Christian faith has been articulated and defended. This edition remains a definitive work for students of theology and the history of Christian thought.
