Media Reviews
McGrath's approach is creedal and biblical. The chapters are lucid, engaging, and thought-provoking in so far as they serve as gateways into a complex (if not at times convoluted) field of study. (Religious Studies Review, March 2009) The publisher's blurb reports that the first edition was 'an international best seller' ... .It deserves this success. Students need such a clearly presented, sure-footed account of the theological basics. (Theological Book Review, 2008)
