Feedback “Students need such a clearly presented, sure-footed account of the theological basics.” Theological Book Review “The genius of McGrath is his remarkable ability to write in a clear, concise, and lucid manner that draws teachers and students to participate with the great thinkers of the Christian tradition, past and present.” Prof. D. Ngien, Tyndale University Praise for the previous edition: “Historical Theology is a great book for seminary students or any just interested in theology. McGrath covers a lot of material in a relatively short book, and he keeps it interesting throughout." “Vigorous, brisk, and highly stimulating. The reader will be thoroughly engaged from the outset, and considerably enlightened at the end.” Rev. Dr J. Platt, Oxford University

I must confess, this book made me shed tears like never before. The themes of love, loss, and resilience struck a chord with my soul. It was an emotional journey I'm grateful to have taken.

The world created in this book was unlike anything I've ever encountered. The author's imagination knows no bounds, and I was completely mesmerized by the fantastical setting.
Iris Watts
The way this book explored the complexities of human nature and relationships was both profound and relatable. It touched my heart in ways I didn't expect.
