From the Publisher
"With trademark lucidity, McGrath explores the fundamentals of Christian belief through the voices of its most revered theologians. From the groundwork of the Apostles’ Creed, the text builds in measured steps upon its own foundations. This new edition will surely be welcomed by educators and seekers across a broad theological landscape."
–Deborah Halter, Loyola University New Orleans
"With new and expanded chapters, this second edition of Theology: The Basics manages to improve on the remarkable achievement of the first. Concise, accurate, and insightful, it's a wonderful introduction to the heart of Christianity."
–Bradley Nystrom, California State University
"Alister McGrath does not disappoint. This text provides for students, scholars and laity an unparalleled jewel that will define Christian theology for decades to come. An engaging read."
–Noel Leo Erskine, Emory University
"This attractive introduction is concise without engaging in caricature, accessible without being pedantic and historically informed without losing sight of contemporary discussions. Perhaps what is most striking is that it provides very clear instruction while inviting students to make their own discoveries and draw their own conclusions. The text is generously supported with excerpts from classic theological works, and offers thought-provoking questions for student discussion. In this way, McGrath engages his readers in the very sort of ongoing theological dialogue the work surveys."
–Steven Guthrie, Belmont University
"The wisdom of a fine theologian and the savvy of an excellent teacher are distilled in this valuable book. It will be esteemed by teachers and students alike, for it is hard to imagine a better companion for beginning the journey of theology."
–M. Douglas Meeks, Vanderbilt University
