Fortress Press, 1996 M11 22 - 566 páginas
What does it mean to profess the faith as North American Christians at the end of the second millennium?

Hall marshalls doctrinal resources for a critical, creative response that stresses God's necessary involvement in an unfinished, dynamic, suffering world.
