Praise for previous editions of Christian Theology: An Introduction
Praise for previous editions of Christian Theology: An Introduction
“This book is an extraordinary achievement, a tour de force which will introduce thousands of students to theology as a discipline with a rich heritage, a clear sense of its own methods and norms, and an elusive yet articulate understanding of Christian language.” Reviews in Religion and Theology
“‘Introduction' is perhaps too modest a word for a book which gives a basic introduction to almost every aspect of the history and theology of Christianity. It is clearly written, fairly argued, and very reasonably priced. McGrath has set a standard that will not be broken for a very long time.” Theology
“There is much to admire in Dr. McGrath's skill as a pedagogue. The range of issues he deals with is marvellously broad, and he says a great many things which are important, beautiful, true and worth knowing.” Church Times
“McGrath has surpassed even himself in ... Christian Theology: An Introduction. His assumption that the reader has little theological expertise and reads only English makes the book extremely valuable to beginners in theology. ... His purpose is not to pre-scribe but to de-scribe Christian Theology.” Trinity Journal
“This is an admirable textbook which will soon grace many shelves.” Expository Times
“[McGrath] lets the Church and its classic traditions speak for themselves, rather than expostulating on his own arguments and opinions. His own constructive work takes the form of addressing, in light of Scripture and tradition, some of the burning issues in the Church today. The happy result is that the shape of the questions is contemporary while the substance of the answers is deeply traditional.” First Things
“This publication is a seminal text for the student or teacher of Christian Theology. Its readability and general presentation make it a very accessible text for those with a general interest in this area of academic endeavor. In essence this is a text which would be a useful and valuable resource for the teacher or student of theology. For school-based practitioners it is a very sound teacher reference text. It contains in one volume a very thorough treatment of the key developments in Christian Theology over the past 2,000 years.” Religious Education Journal of Australia
