Introduction to Theology

In this book an attempt is made to defend monotheism, particularly the Christian form of it, over against the other 'isms' such as deism, atheism, pantheism and polytheism. In doing so the author explains that the truth is a paradox of different aspects, which we tend to feel as a tension from which we want to break free. And this sets the stage for all kinds of untruth. They form even double and triple breaks away from the truth as the golden mean, the biblical happy medium; without a compromise, let it be noted, on the right or on the left. Secondly several sections are devoted to the role of revelation. It is argued that revelation and creation go hand in hand. And in this also theology plays a role.
