fun, concise and attractive introduction to a fascinating and challenging subject. This is the ideal book for teenagers and students coming to theology for the first time, or indeed for anyone who just doesn't know where to start. The book examines 18 key thinkers and concepts, from the New Testament to Feminist Theology. It starts by considering some of the authors of New Testament writings and then focuses on 16 thinkers of the western tradition of theological speculation. Nearly half the work concentrates on 20th century thinkers and problems. It puts all thinkers in their historical, social and cultural settings, emphasizing that theology is as much a reflection on the world we live in as it is on God. Technical terms are explained in simple language throughout the text. The work also provides short summaries of the main theological issues and projects in subsections accompanying each chapter exploring their ideas in relation to each other and to their historical and cultural contexts. This makes the book an ideal reference tool for a clear first overview of theology.
