Description
Book SynopsisAddressing the potential for confusion about basic Christian claims and beliefs, Gerald O'Collins sets out to relaunch fundamental theology as a discipline by presenting a coherent vision of basic theological questions and positions that lay the ground for work in specific areas of systematic theology.
Trade Reviewthis is an excellent and voluminously learned work from a true servant of the church and its theological task. There is much to enjoy in his book, much to be gained from it, and much within it on which to reflect further. * Peter Groves, Expository Times *
a very fine text that should be welcomed by teachers, scholars, and students of all kinds...outstanding and impressive. * Alan Padgett, Theological Studies *
