Media Reviews
Scholarly quips sparkle throughout this 500-page compendium of Christian theology, making it an accessible and user-friendly read ... Together with helpful references, glossary, maps and a timeline this helps to make An Introduction to Christian Theology an excellent primer for students and teachers ... Highly recommended, Anthony Towey has set a new standard in an important field. * The Tablet *
An excellent introductory text for anyone studying theology. * The Reader *
At more than 500 pages, it is excellent value for money, and offers an open, clear, and lucid perspective on theology ... Towey is clearly a very gifted writer, and able to take his readers through dense and complex theological issues with assurance and clarity. * Church Times *
In terms of sheer ease of use the book scores highly, every chapter has an outline of the topics covered and an end summary. The glossary is also a very useful addition. * Open House *
Dr Anthony Towey [...] has met his brief to create an accessible and stimulating introduction to Christian theology. It is a work of impressive ambition: an academic sojourn beginning deep in ancient Judaism and ending with contemporary debates – all conducted in the spirit of ‘thoughtful conversation about God’. In adopting a witty, simply written and ‘basically historical’ approach, he offers a text especially appealing to what I suspect is his main constituency – the younger student new to tertiary level theology. It could also work as a useful primer for teachers, catechists, religious, or simply those with a general interest in theology. * International Studies in Catholic Education *
Throughout, Towey proves a reliable guide ... not only to the central doctrinal loci but also to the Bible, Church history, ethics and much more. * Reviews in Theology *
With erudition, enthusiasm and humour, Anthony Towey has produced that rare thing: a compendium of Christian theology to make the brain hum and the heart sing. * Julie Clague, University of Glasgow, UK *
Towey writes engagingly. He refreshingly takes the student of theology into areas that will allow them to sense the richness, complexity, problems and wonders of the Christian tradition. * Gavin D’Costa, University of Bristol, UK *
