Theology: A Very Short Introduction

This Very Short Introduction provides both the believer and non-believer with a balanced survey of the central questions of theology. David Ford´s approach draws us in to considering the principles underlying religious belief, including the centrality of salvation to most major religions, the concept of God in ancient, modern, and postmodern contexts, the challenge posed to theology by prayer and worship, and the issue of sin and evil. He also probes the nature of experience, knowledge, and wisdom in theology, and discusses what is involved in interpreting theological texts.
