THEOLOGY FOR AMATEURS is different from other theology books. It cuts through all of the jargon and footnotes, and encourages us to develop our understanding of God starting from our own level.

Alister McGrath explains that theology is something that everyone who enjoys thinking and talking about God can do. This book follows the successful, plain-speaking, lively style of Michael Green's popular EVANGELISM FOR AMATEURS.

It challenges us to deepen our faith by asking questions that we might not normally consider, on topics such as the significance of the Cross, the nature of God, the meaning of the Trinity and the authority of the Bible.
