<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Analytic theology is a new and stimulating movement that uses the tools and methods of philosophy to help us understand and articulate Christian doctrine. Thomas McCall introduces us to analytic theology, explaining its connections to Scripture, Christian tradition and culture, and calling the discipline to deeper engagement with the traditional resources of the theological task.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In recent decades a new movement has arisen, bringing the conceptual tools of analytic philosophy to bear on theological reflection. Called analytic theology, it seeks to bring a clarity of thought and a disciplined use of logic to the work of constructive Christian theology. In this introduction to analytic theology for specialists and nonspecialists alike, Thomas McCall lays out what it is and what it isn't. The goal of this growing and energetic field is not the removal of all mystery in theology. At the same time, it insists that mystery must not be confused with logical incoherence. McCall explains the connections of analytic theology to Scripture, Christian tradition and culture, using case studies to illuminate his discussion. Beyond mere description, McCall calls the discipline to a deeper engagement with the traditional resources of the theological task.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>McCall has provided the Church and academy a theological treasure that is certain to influence many theologically minded and philosophically sensitive thinkers. If you have been looking for a point of entry onto the growing intellectual highway known as analytic theology, then you should look no further. This volume comes highly recommended.</p>--John Kight, Sojourner Theology, December 29, 2015<br><br><p>McCall's <em>An Invitation to Analytic Christian Theology</em> is an excellent introduction to this fairly new theological approach. For those suspicious of anything analytic, I highly recommend McCall's book for the first chapter alone. I hope that this book serves to make the analytical method more appealing, and those who use it more accepted, to ongoing contemporary and evangelical theological discussion.</p>--James C. McGlothlin, Themelios, April 2016<br><br><p>Overall, this is an important, and timely contribution to contemporary theology. As the 21st century rolls on, analytic theology shows no signs of going away anytime soon. If analytic theology is going to be accepted into the broader theological landscape, a greater understanding of the analytic project is needed. McCall's book offers a warm invitation into this greater understanding with the right amount of brevity, lucidity, and humility.</p>--Ryan T. Mullins, Journal of Reformed Theology 10 (2016)<br><br><p>This book provides a brief and accessible introduction to the nature of analytic theology for the nonspecialist.</p>--Jennifer Guo, jenniferguo.wordpress.com, December 18, 2015<br><br><p>This volume rightfully reminds readers of the continuing importance of semantic clarity, logical exactitude, and philosophical proficiency in the contemporary theological endeavor.</p>--Paul Hartog, Criswell Theological Review, Spring 2016<br>
