Alister McGrath here combines a mastery of the history of doctrine with his gift of communication to produce the finest university textbook available in this field." "Professor Gabriel Fackre, Andover Newton Theological School, USA"<P>"There is much to admire in Dr McGrath's skill as a pedagogue. The range of issues he deals with is marvellously broad, and he says a great many things which are important, beautiful, true and worth knowing." "Church Times"<P>"McGrath has surpassed even himself in his latest work, "Christian Theology: An Introduction"."<P>"His assumption that the reader has little theological expertise and reads only English, makes the book extremely valuable to beginners in theology."<P>"Beginners in theology will want this book, I do not say on their shelf, but rather, in their hands; and yet advanced theologians will not regret digesting the material presented as well."<P>"His purpose is not to pre-scribe but to de-scribe Christian Theology." "Trinity Journal"<P>"This is a wonderfully clear presentation of major questions on each of the topics discussed. The author is a skilful teacher who knows how to explain what is at issue in the different debates and disagreements without overwhelming the reader with unnecessary detail." "ACT Digest"<P>"'Introduction' is perhaps too modest a word for a book which gives a basic introduction to almost every aspect of the history and theology of Christianity. It is clearly written, fairly argued, and very reasonably priced. McGrath has set a standard that will not be broken for a very long time." "Theology"<P>"This is an admirable textbook which will soon grace many shelves." "Expository Times"<P>"This book is an extraordinary achievement, a "tour de force" by McGrath which will establish his reputation as one of Britain's most important theologians. It will also introduce thousands of students to theology as a discipline<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>ALISTER E.
