2021 Textbook Excellence Award Winner (College) by the Textbook &
Academic Authors Association (TAA)Praise for the previous
edition:"I think The Christian Theological Tradition is the best
introduction to the Christian tradition on the market."Joseph
Kroger, St Michael’s College, Colchester, VT, USAEndorsements for
the fourth edition: "This superb volume introduces students to the
places, forms, and agents of a complex tradition incomprehensible
without an accurate version of its historical settings. The new
edition is indispensable for instructors and students alike." Robin
Darling Young, The Catholic University of America, USA"This
textbook is both thoroughly historical and genuinely theological;
it displays the vibrancy and sophistication of Christian attempts
to deal with questions of meaning in a way that is accessible to
undergraduates and other beginners, whether Christian or not. The
text as a whole makes a compelling case that one cannot understand
the world today without understanding the Christian tradition. I
taught the third edition of this book for many years; this new
fourth edition is even better."William T. Cavanaugh, DePaul
University, USA
