(Tom-farr.blogspot.com, 1 August2013) "Praise for the previous edition" "This approach is very well-pitched for the intended readership,particularly those who are teaching themselves. HistoricalTheology is an excellent resource, both for the teacher andstudent." Morwenna Ludlow, St John's College,Oxford "Perhaps for the first time an expansive and ecumenical surveyof Christian Theology has been produced that can be read with thesame ease as a serious but gripping novel... This book will serveas an invaluable tool: it locates theological innovation andcontroversy in its context-specific situation." G.W.P.McFarlane, London Bible College "Useful in undergraduate courses, as well as inintroductory seminary ones. McGrath's prose is clear andprecise. He is very good at articulating distinctions betweenconcepts ... Historical Theology would be a valuablereference book to have in one's library ...
