Description
This is an introduction to the multifaceted subject of academic theology. Its basic approach is interrogative, raising key questions so as to lead into a range of selected topics such as knowledge, community, salvation, God, prayer and evil. The integrating idea is that of the quest for wisdom and there is a postscript looking forward to theology in the next century.
