New Dictionary of Christian Theology

by Alan Richardson

It has been said that in each generation some senior scholar should be pressganged into writing a straightforward account of the Christian faith. SCM Press has gone one better. They have prevailed on a host of leading scholars to write concise articles on the theological (and cognate) themes on which they are expert. Many of these are remarkably successful: historically informative, conceptually clarifying - without being dull.' Maurice Wiles, Regius Professor of Divinity, University of Oxford 'Recommended as the best one-volume dictionary of theology avaialble today.' Choice
