Embracing current ideas and concerns, a fresh look at a hugely important subject

Alister McGrath invariably combines enormous scholarship with an accessible and engaging style. -- Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury
Brilliant and lucid as ever, Alister McGrath makes a compelling case that because theology sustains the vision that is at the heart of Christian faith, the church needs its leaders to be not just efficient church-builders, but wise thinkers and teachers, schooled in the rich tradition of Christian theology. -- Graham Tomlin, Bishop of Kensington on 'What's the Point of Theology?'

Alister McGrath is the Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at the University of Oxford. A former atheist, he has established a reputation as one of the leading apologists for Christianity, as well as one of the world's most respected Christian theologians. His many publications include the bestselling The Dawkins Delusion?. He was elected FRSA in 2005, in recognition of his work as a public intellectual.
