The new edition of this widely
used collection of readings builds on the success of the first edition
of The Christian Theology Reader. It now includes more than 300 seminal
readings from the entire Christian tradition, using important sources
from the patristic, medieval, Reformation, and modern periods. Each reading
has been selected on the basis of audience surveys and includes a detailed
individual introduction, comments, and questions.
The supporting material for
every reading has been classroom tested, making this Reader highly accessible
for those new to the subject. Full details of the sources of the readings
are provided, and all texts are cross-referenced for ease of use. It includes
a wide-range of theological and denominational interests, and topical
indexes allow easy access to themes throughout Christian history. This
new edition also contains an updated glossary of theological terms and
details of Internet holdings of theological texts for further study.
Used alone or in conjunction
with the author's bestselling textbook, Christian Theology: An Introduction,
the second edition of this Reader is the essential guide to the key sources
and texts available in the field. Both the author and publisher are committed
to keeping these books available and regularly updated in the light of
user comments and evaluations.
Who will use this book?
This new edition is the ideal Reader
for students studying introductory theology. Alister McGrath writes with
students' needs in mind, and so the selection of sources, style and pedagogical
features make this the ideal accompaniment for courses in this field.
