"Having grown out of classroom use for postgraduate students, the
good introductory material make this reader quite appropriate as a
taster for final-year undergraduates. A collection like this serves
a useful function in helping students discover a good range of
contemporary material in a short time." International Journal of
Systematic Theology
"These readings do a good job of acquainting the reader with the
major characteristics of postliberalism and the ferment it has
sparked. I recommend it to those seeking to understand these
contemporary developments in theology." The Southern Baptist
Journal of Theology
"The editors have done a wonderful job of selecting and organizing
the pieces which, taken together, provide an excellent introduction
to an important project." Toronto Journal of Theology
