Reviews
“These essays are clearly written by experts in their respective disciplines and do not necessarily presuppose any previous detailed acquaintance with the wide range of subject matter covered. Indeed I believe this would form a suitable text to introduce readers with little background knowledge in the fields of religion and Christian theology to a discussion of a number of contemporary issues as they impinge upon these fields.” – Dr. John Tudno Williams, Principal of the United theological College, Aberystwyth
“The contributions range from the editor’s own personal contribution concerning the Biblical conception of god, through theology, psychiatry, ecology, economics, biology, anthropology, to philosophy. The contributors are all well-established and respected authorities in their various fields. As well as having produced valuable contributions to their fields for this volume, the authors have, nevertheless, endeavoured to keep their writing accessible to those readers who seek an introduction to the literature, and to the characteristic approaches of their discipline.” – Dr. J. E. Robinson
