My Theology: Return from a Distant Country

My Theology: The world''s leading Christian thinkers explain some of the principal tenets of their theological beliefs. ''I never expected to be a Christian theologian, mainly because I never expected to be a Christian,'' writes Alister McGrath. ''I assumed that scientific atheism would be my permanent intellectual homeland; in fact, it turned out to be a temporary place of exile, from which I would later return, wiser and somewhat chastened.'' In this fascinating book, McGrath describes his journey into faith and his vision of Christian theology, focussing on the distinct role of historical theology; the importance of engaging the relation of science and faith; the need for theologians to engage in major public debates; and the significance of theological education.
