Reviews

Alister McGrath invariably combines enormous scholarship with an accessible and engaging style.
*Rowan Williams, Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge*

[On the author's CHRISTIAN BELIEF FOR EVERYONE SERIES] Highly recommended
*Church of England Newspaper*

Again and again, Alister McGrath elegantly performs that central task of any teacher: to enable his students and readers, starting from the familiar ground of what they already know, to go on to explore new territory, and begin to see an expanded horizon.
*Church Times*

McGrath writes with style and conviction, and wears his learning lightly in his ability to draw upon a wide variety of sources in the formation of his argument.
*New Directions*

McGrath's ability to translate often complex theological matters into contemporary prose for a popular audience once again shines through, with an immensely readable style that captivates readers from the opening pages.
*Life and Work*

Written with academic rigour, but in a form which assumes no prior knowledge, [it] does what it says on the cover and enables an exploration of Christian belief for everyone.
