Diogenes AllenA's Theology for a Troubled Believer is one of the richest expressions of theology in years. Few are capable of integrating scholarly and spiritual depth in a single volume as Allen has done here. He has effortlessly and coherently blended together classic philosophy and literature, Holy Scriptures, and the historic witness of the saints to illustrate and uncover central themes of Christian doctrine. We receive here a rare gift from one of our leading theolo-gians today W. Mark Richardson, Professor of Systematic Theology General Theological Semi-nary, New York
