Description
Book SynopsisOffers an overview of modern theology. This title covers theology's relation to other disciplines, the history of theology, major themes, key figures and contemporary issues.
Trade Review"The book is an unqualified success, and should be compulsory reading for anyone who seriously wants to understand why theology, while it may be post-modern, can never be pre-modern again."
