Explores the notion of Christian faith as disbelief and how the task of 'testing the spirits' develops and comes to be understood within Christianity as a theological discipline called 'dogmatics'. This book also focuses on uncovering disbeliefs of the Christian faith concerning the Word of God, the being of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
