Principles of Christian TheologyFirst published in 1966, Principles of Christian Theology is recognized as a classic in its presentation of the major themes of Christian thought in contemporary terms. This edition now includes new or additional material on topics such as the individual and society, truth, demons, atonement, the Holy Spirit, the papacy, and collegiality. As noted theologian Robert McAfee Brown has said of Professor Macquarrie, possibly no one "has a greater ability to summarize and describe varying points of view with such scrupulous fairness and clarity, and yet maintain a distinctive position of his own." -- |
