Reviews
Mark McIntosh has earned a justifiable reputation for his deeply passionate and highly literate books on Christian theology. This work adds further proof that his excellent reputation is warranted. I can think of no better guide for anyone interested in how theologians go about their task as well as why that task is both a rigorous intellectual discipline and a liberating adventure of the heart."awrence S. Cunningham, University of Notre Dame"McIntosh is recognized by those "in the know" as among the best theologians of our generation. This work introduces him to a broad audience, and is astonishing in its combination of scope, acuity, and accessibility. Students will encounter brief but lucid commentary on Scriptural texts and important creeds, meticulous exegesis of major theologians' central arguments, and incisive analysis of many of those same theologians' major theological works. Teachers of theology will learn as well from the ordering of topics, selection of thinkers, texts, and debates, and the style and mode of presentation of themes. Were students introduced to the study of theology by this book alone for the coming decades, it would be a very good thing indeed."harles T Mathewes, University of Virginia"With its refreshingly original approach, this book offers an attractive and reliable introduction to newcomers to the subject as well as plenty to provoke old hands." Fergus Kerr, University of Edinburgh, "There are so many strengths to the book, many of which I've tried to point out. Chief among them is that this book is all about how we might actually learn about God from God, in our inmost being, not as bits of true information, but as an abiding light that will illuminate all other seeing and knowing." (Theophiliacs, 8 July 2011) "Textbooks should only be written by genuine teachers who truly love their students. Mark McIntosh is clearly such a teacher." ( Modern Theology, April 2010)"Astonishing in its combination of scope, acuity, and accessibility. In short, truly magisterial: this book is in all ways the product of a master theologian working at the top of his game." Charles T. Mathewes, University of Virginia "Mark McIntosh has earned a justifiable reputation for his deeply passionate and highly literate books on Christian theology.

Lawrence S. Cunningham, University of Notre Dame "With its refreshingly original approach, this book offers an attractive and reliable introduction to newcomers to the subject as well as plenty to provoke old hands." Fergus Kerr, University of Edinburgh "To be commended for its refreshing approach and inclusive perspective, and should be a welcome read for theological novices as well as veterans."
