Frequently-Asked Questions in Christian Theology by The Revd William H Harrison
This is a practical 'on-the-bus' theology book that will answer all the questions that people want to ask about God, and evil, the Bible and the Church, but are too embarrassed to ask.The debate between the disciples of God and Dawkins depends upon a level of basic theological information which many people lack. Here are the answers to all those questions that people really do ask (or would like to ask, but are embarrassed to admit to not already knowing the answers) - about God, and evil, and the Bible and the Church.This is 'on-the-bus theology' for the general reader. "This book is not the last word on anything", writes the author: "I hope only that it is the starting word on some very important things for some interested people."

"This book is written for an audience that has little or no formal training in theologyThe author intends his book to be accessible to the general reader while offering solid theology. The question-and-answer format facilitates a conversation with the reader. While the book is organized according to the ordinary order of Christian theology, the reader may go directly to specific questions that are of interest to the reader... This is a book that parish libraries should have." --Lucien J. Richard, OMI, Catholic Library World -- Lucien J. Richard, OMI * Catholic Library World *
"The language is deceptively easy to read. By deceptive I mean that it doesn't seem to be leading the reader into profound meaning but that is exactly what it does. The author suggests reading around with pauses for meditation on the questions... it would thus be an excellent resource for confirmation classes for youth as well as adult inquiries" -- The Living Church -- Rev. George Ross * Living Church, The *
