Publisher's Description

- A thoughtful, provocative approach to Christian doctrine, encouraging a spiritual/emotional response rather than solely an intellectual exercise. - A rich and diverse array of contributors who each have a deep and rigorous knowledge of the theological themes as well as an acute understanding of the lived ecclesial context. - The first volume as part of a new venture by a collective of priest-theologians called, 'The St Mary Magdalen School of Theology' designed to “provide to provide people—lay and ordained—with the theological resources for an active Christian life.”

Editorial Reviews

▼▲

This book is like the very best kind of guidebook to a great city you’ve not visited before – or perhaps have visited and largely forgotten. It takes little for granted, it clearly and vividly maps the territory, and it whets the appetite to spend time looking, learning and absorbing the riches around you. A really first class introduction to the ‘new city’ of classical Christian faith and practice. -- Rowan Williams

'...a deceptively simple and amazingly fresh guide to Christian doctrine which insists that theology cannot be divorced from every-day Christian life.' -- Paul Beasley-Murray, Chairman of College of Baptist Ministers
