Description
Reviews
The Living Church "Alister McGrath's careful study of the genesis of doctrine sets this complex issue in a balanced Christian context. . . The clarity with which McGrath introduces the differences between theology and doctrine and distinguishes academic theology and the theology of the church, are helpful and dispel a good deal of careless generalization. A helpful book for anyone who is trying to sharpen theological understanding and expression."
